“I’m so proud of the seniors and I’m so happy I could get them all in the game today,” GHS coach Adrian Arango said. “It was a great way to honor the 14 guys today. They have meant so much to the program with their hard work and dedication. After missing their junior season, they dedicated themselves to making sure we could be successful this season. They have been leaders and have played major roles in getting us off to a great start.”
