Greetings!

 

This evening, the CJ women's basketball team will play Millersburg West Holmes High School at 8 p.m. at Ohio State's Jerome Schottenstein Center (directions) for a chance to advance to the Division II state finals on Saturday! It is the Eagles' first state final four appearance since 2005.  

 

We expect to bring a large crowd of Eagles fans to Columbus tonight to cheer on the girls. If you weren't able to purchase tickets in advance, admission will be $10 at the gate. Fans are encouraged to wear green! CJ state spirit shirts will be available at school today until 6 p.m. for $8.

 

If you can't make it to the game, you can follow all the action from home with updates posted to the CJ athletic office's Twitter page (@CJEaglesSports). There will also be a live radio broadcast of the game, available online here, courtesy of the OHSAA's Radio Network.

 

Best of luck to the Eagles tonight and all CJ students competing both academically and athletically in statewide competitions this weekend!

 

Sincerely,

 

Scott Pierce, Athletic Director  |  email 

GO EAGLES!
