SGS Moves to Bi-County League in Fall 2010
Saint George’s is moving to the Bi-County League next year for Basketball, Volleyball, Baseball, and Softball. This is the result of a unanimous vote by all 1B and 2B schools in District 7 to realign into new leagues to ensure less travel (saving schools money and out classroom time) and more competitive balance (making sure schools compete against schools of similar size). This will not affect any other sports or any Lower or Middle School teams. See Ryan Peplinski's Announcement on Homer for more details.
