Come on out and help cheer them on!

Good morning ABK fans. Tomorrow the guys will be playing Columbine here at AHS @ 4:00. It is the last home game of the regular season. The team is currently ranked 2nd in the state and will be gearing up for the playoffs next week. At tomorrow’s game the players are requesting that all fans wear black and bring at least one canned food product for our AHS Tackle Food campaign. As always, thank you for your support and see you tomorrow.

Attention all cross country runners who forgot to turn in their bags and uniforms on Monday. Please bring your bag and clean uniform to the cage tomorrow, Thursday, at 2:30 so you are not assessed a fine for your equipment.
