We went green and stopped printing programs a few years ago, but we still make the PDF available for download every year. For future events, is that the best format for you (ideal for tablets and offline viewing), or would you prefer something suited for smaller screens?

@MetroVsFL . See you there.

[Metro vs. FL Challenge @MetroVsFL]

Meanwhile, you'll see that YouTube links have been added to our website for the first three games on Friday, and while we hope you'll join us in person, if your Black Friday shopping keeps you from Joe Sterling Gymnasium, we'd be delighted to host you virtually!

[Metro vs. FL Challenge @MetroVsFL]

BONUS COVERAGE: We were only going to do full YouTube coverage of the last three games Friday, but the first three promise to be too good not to televise, so we found the resources to stream Edgewater/CFCA, Windermere/Auburndale, and Olympia/Gateway!
