I wanted to send you an email to tell you how impressed I was by the sportsmanship of not only your team, but your student body. My wife and I sat directly behind your junior high basketball players at the top of the student section. I was very impressed by how well behaved, polite, and respectful all of them were before, during, and after the game. They even said nice things about Mr. Hanna when we were joking around with them at halftime.
