This year, the junior varsity/middle school baseball team found itself with players from sixth grade through tenth grade. Having players of varying levels of experience, the combined team allowed its athletes to learn, grow, and develop from working alongside each other. Only two games in when the season abruptly came to an end, the baseball team was quickly coming together and learning to work in sync on the field. 

Coach Steve Beare was the head coach for the junior varsity/middle school baseball team this season.

With the skills the team has learned this year, we anticipate a thrilling and competitive season next spring for all of the returning athletes!

Although the varsity boys tennis team only managed to play four matches before their season came to a halt, the Pirates were on an incredible winning streak. Whether playing at home or away, the team dominated the courts in their singles and doubles matches. In their games against Pine School and John Carroll Catholic High School, the boys almost shut out both opponents by winning all but one of their singles matches and both of their doubles matches each time. Not only did the Pirates finish their shortened season undefeated at 4-0, they also already swept their division in the Treasure Lake Conference.

Though they already had a few games under their belts, varsity boys lacrosse was expecting great things to unfold for them this season. Showing their dominance on the playing field, the boys team overcame both Viera High School and Vero Beach High School by a significant margin during the preseason jamboree. Thanks to a highly effective defensive end and an impressive display of teamwork, the varsity boys team finished with a 4-3 record. In what would be their final game of the season, the Pirates completely shut down Ransom-Everglades High School at home, winning 16-0.

Only four games into the season when it was suddenly ended, the varsity girls lacrosse team showed great promise on the playing field. The team displayed great determination in their season opener against equally ranked Windemere Prep School, winning 21-9. The final 2-2 record of the Lady Pirates does not begin to reflect the team's talent on the field. Facing tougher opponents at the beginning of their season, the girls were poised to sweep the rest of their scheduled season games. In their next to last game of the shortened season, the Lady Pirates faced Edgewood High School in a game that was dominated by a tie or a one-point separation throughout most of the match. Showing true grit, the team pulled together and scored the winning goal with just 17 seconds left on the clock.
