Tonight we have two special events happening in the main gym! First, the boys basketball team is hosting Senior Night against Ogilvie. Our four senior basketball players will be recognized directly after the C-Squad game, before Varsity warmups.

Second, we are honoring former Upsala Basketball standout Christian Pekarek, who will be inducted into the Upsala Hall of Fame tonight at halftime of the Varsity game.

It will be a fun evening, come on out and support the Cardinals and Christian!
