Basketball
For the first time ever we had student section at our basketball games that brought the team energy. We need to continue to bring the energy and grow our student attendance. There are 3 great opportunities this week to come support HPA basketball at home.
Tomorrow 11/14 the both the Blue and Red High school boys teams play at home against the Bible Family Ballers. Games will be held at 5:30 and 7:00PM.
Tuesday 11/15 our high school girls are in action for the first time at home against Heritage Christian. Come see them take the court at 5:30PM.
Friday 11/18 is a special night for our basketball program. We would like to encourage all HPA families to come see all three of our high school teams play. A student involved with our student section, Karli Cox, came up with the fantastic idea to do a holiday food drive at our games. On Friday night please come out and support our Hoops 4 Hunger game. Whoever brings a non perishable food item does not have to pay admission to the games. All donations will be going to the Fort Worth Community Food Bank. Come out to support your Eagles and a good cause simultaneously.
