Congratulations to the girls' varsity tennis team on a 3-2 win in the quarterfinal round of Section III Team Tournament play on Monday! The Blue Devils got a long-awaited win by defeating the team that eliminated them last year, South Jefferson. The Blue Devils got the edge in the match through a win at second singles by Lainie Liberatore, and victories from both doubles pairings. Abigail Arnold and Alexis Albrecht won at first doubles 6-3, 6-3, and Dolmae Honrales and Rylee Greggains secured perhaps the match's most pivotal victory with a three set win at second doubles. Camden, the fourth seed in the tournament, is back at it today for the semifinals against top-seeded Oneida. The match will start at 3:30 at Oneida High School.

Last night was an important one at the CHS Stadium as the Blue Devil Field Hockey programs hosted Morgan's Message Night! The evening raised funds and awareness for the Morgan's Message organization and its advocacy efforts for student-athlete mental health. All three Camden Field Hockey teams were in action. Before the varsity game, our Morgan's Message Student-Athlete Ambassador, Ryen Lago, gave a brief speech about what the cause means to her before her squad took on RFA. With the help of Camden High School Social Worker Michelle Mellon, Lago has founded a Morgan's Message club at CHS with the aim of continuing to support this important work. A special thank you to all who attended, as well as to Dean's Concessions, Two Broke Besties, and Olive Grove Gathering Co. for coming on board to support the cause!
