Greetings!
Thanks to the recent success of the men's and women's basketball teams, there are two tremendous Sectional tournament games coming up on Saturday, Feb. 23 and Monday, Feb. 25.
Tickets to both can be purchased for $6 in the athletic office up until 5:30 p.m. of game day (or until sold out). Save on admission and support CJ by purchasing tickets in advance - the school keeps 50 percent of revenue from pre-sale. Tickets are good for all games played at each day's location.
Saturday, Feb. 23: CJ women's basketball plays No. 1 seeded Bellbrook in a re-match of last year's Regional final at Springboro High School at noon. Precedes the 1:30 p.m. Alter vs. Clinton Massie game.
Monday, Feb. 25: CJ men's basketball takes on No. 2 seeded Dunbar in what is expected to be a sell out at the Trent Arena at 7:30 p.m. Follows the 6 p.m. Carroll vs. Franklin game.
Buy tickets early, wear your blue & green, and GO EAGLES!
