The PJH baseball team's season concluded tonight with a hard fought game against Chicago Heights, ending in a 3-5 score. While the season has come to a close, we couldn't be prouder of the team's spirit, their unwavering support for one another, and the grit and determination they displayed throughout the season. A huge thank you to Coaches Wright and Shereyk for their leadership and for making the season so memorable!
Great job, Falcons!
