Came to watch those aurora boys play some ball. Enjoyed my time there with Dan Turter and Eugene Baker. Definitely should have more students go to the game. They are also ranked 4th in the state. Definitely the best team at Metea.

you see, i was supposed to join the girls badminton team but apparently my registration wasn’t filled out correctly and so when i asked the coach, if it would effect my scoring he said it would and i shouldnt try. this is why i am never trying out for this school ever again.
