Wednesday, May 8, will be Senior Night for both our varsity tennis and varsity baseball teams here at South Haven High School. The tennis team will celebrate their seniors before their match with Hackett at approximately 4:30 pm, while the baseball team will do so between games of tonight's doubleheader with Watervliet. All are invited to come join us as we honor these athletes who have out in four years of hard work.
Due to today's inclement weather, South Haven Athletics has made the following changes:
Varsity Tennis will host Kalamazoo Hackett on Wednesday at 4:30 pm. They will also honor their seniors at that time.
Varsity Baseball has also moved their home DH to Wednesday (5/8) against Watervliet. The team will also hold their senior night between games.
Varsity Softball has moved their DH with Watervliet to Friday, May 10. The team will host the Panthers at 4:30 and also celebrate their seniors on that evening.
All online schedules should now be accurate.
