Congratulations to Brookhaven Academy boy’s baseball team ontheir State Championship win! Now if you think you’ve readsomething like this before, it’s because you have. BrookhavenAcademy boys have won four State Championships this school year -football, basketball, baseball and tennis.

What a stellar year! It certainly was not easy, but this groupof young men battled like warriors and wouldn’t take no for ananswer. They also displayed what coaches dream about, teamwork. Ona good team, someone always steps up in every game. This iscertainly what Brookhaven Academy had, people willing to rise tothe occasion, to lead and do what was necessary to win. Enjoy yourvictories!

Congratulations to all the area graduates, also. Parents,grandparents, aunts, uncles and teachers, kudos to you too. You arethe support group who helps these youngsters succeed. Many nightsare spent making sure homework is done, clothes are clean, foodprepared, and in the mornings, making sure the student is attendingschool. It isn’t easy crossing all the T’s and dotting the I’s, butit must be a group effort. So many children are in extra curricularactivities, I don’t see how it all gets done, but it does. Enjoyyour victories, too.
