After a devastating district loss to Jefferson last Thursday, the Knights clinched two district wins this week.

Riley Shackowsky (’17) took the mound for Tuesday’s game and Koby Fogg (’19) took the mound for Thursday’s.

“It felt good to get our first district wins,” Shackowsky said. “It’s always a competition between us and Jesuit to see who will get first and second in the district, so those games really mattered.”
