Congrats to the RFA Volleyball team for its second straight league championship and finishing the regular season at 17-1. If they win sectionals, they will definitely be the first RFA Volleyball team to win 20 games in a season.
We will have at least 5 teams looking not only for league titles (already clinched 3 of them) but Section 3 titles. Our unbeaten girls and boys bowling teams, undefeated boys basketball, and girls volleyball and boys ice hockey (both with only one loss.)
Congrats to our girls and boys bowling teams - TVL Champs and both undefeated. Awesome job

I just wanted to reach out to everyone to remind you that CNS uses HomeTown Ticketing for all Section III hosted events. This includes Semi Finals, Finals, State Qualifiers, and Regionals that are hosted within the Section. I have had a few questions regarding where you can find tickets on the Section III website. They can be found under the “Store” tab, then under “Event Tickets”. Here is the link just in case:
https://section3.org/sports/2021/4/29/hometown-ticketing.aspx
I also encourage you to remind your spectators that it would benefit them to purchase tickets during pre-sale rather than at the door. The door price for cash sales is $15 per ticket. This is reflected in the ticket policy and fee chart. There you will find the price of pre-sale and general admission tickets.
You can also use the attached QR Code to advertise ticket sales for these events. When it is scanned, it will bring you right to the same link found above.
The season is finally over but proud of these girls. Thylia and Evie advanced and played the #2 seed F-M team. They lost 6-2,6-1 but the score was no indication to the match. Of the 15 games - 11 went to deuce. Respect earned there. #futureisbright

Shannen Calandra propels RFA girls lacrosse to victory over undefeated Whitesboro. Rome and Whitesboro played on 5/1 as they both came in as undefeated in the TVL. Rome won 14-5 and Shannen led our offense with 4 goals. Shannen not only led our team in goals against Whitesboro, but she does so much more than what the stats show. Her hard work and constant hustle is second to none. Shannen leads by example on the field and is deadly when she gets the ball in the 8.
Shannen currently has 17 goals, 3 assists and 9 ground balls so far this season.
