.
Shout out to Ryan C., Joe D., Alan S., and Ben P. for leading the offense — and to Griffin L., Jonny D., Isaac F. and Xander S. for not allowing even a single score on defense. Way to go, frisbee wolves!! [clap]

- And now for an important announcement from our school librarians! Do you have any OVERDUE LIBRARY BOOKS???
