Congratulations on a great season for the kindergarten, first, and second
grade Catoctin Youth Association (CYA) Rec Basketball team, the Sharks!
This season, they focused on learning basketball fundamentals; being
coachable; and most importantly, teamwork.
The team celebrated their last practice by bringing in non-perishable
food items to donate to the Thurmont Food Bank. These young people have
learned that they can bring teamwork outside of the court and into their
community. CYA would like to thank the Sharks’ players and their parents for
all of their support.
