Our captain Noah Kaney (12)described it, “It was sad knowing that everything we worked on just slipped away.”  Others may have shortened their sports seasons due to unexpected circumstances, such as a global pandemic. For these seniors, the end of their sports career may feel particularly abrupt and unsatisfying. Regardless of the circumstanc...
