Sarasota's
Only Cow Drop
Back by Popular Demand
How It Works:
- The baseball field will be marked with squares.
- Purchase as many $10 squares as you want.
- A regular, untrained cow will be led to the center of the field and released.
- We wait for the cow to do what a cow does naturally.
- Whatever square the meandering cow drops a "pile" on wins.
- Prizes: 10% of the gross tickets sales (a potential of $2500) will be awarded to the winning square. The eight surrounding squares will receive $100.
Only $10 a Square
How to buy a square: Tickets for squares can be purchased at the school's front office or online through a secure PayPal website. Tickets will then be available for pickup at the front office or at will call the day of the event. Tickets are not required to be picked up in order to win. If you have any questions please call 941-371-6481, ext. 222.
Help us sell tickets: Pick up a few extra tickets and sell them at your office and to your friends and family.
Proceeds from events like this help us keep tuition as low as possible.

New Varsity Girls Basketball Coach
| We are excited to announce that Brett Morrow is the new varsity girls basketball interim coach! The former coach, Alan Hamm, stepped down in order to be able to spend more time with his young family.
Coach Morrow is well known in the area as the owner of the Shooting Zone, which he started three years ago. The Shooting Zone is a local training facility for basketball players who want to further develop their game. Morrow's knowledge of the game and relationship with current players put him in a good position to take the helm for the Blazers. He is well connected with the basketball world and is an excellent teacher of the game. He has a passion for serving God in all areas of his life. His son, Blake (9th), was a member of the boys varsity boys team last year as an eighth grader.
