BASKETBALL SEASON IS HERE! HERE'S HOW TO CHEER ON OUR GRIFFINS THIS YEAR:
Griffin Athletics looks forward to an exciting 2020-21 basketball season and has worked diligently to ensure there are a variety of viewing options during these uncertain times. As always, the safety of our school community and our visiting fans is our first priority.
Seats in our gyms will be limited due to physical distancing. At this time, in-person spectators will be limited to basketball and cheerleading parents, students and faculty (as space is available), however, SDS will soon be offering live streaming opportunities to watch our Griffins play virtually.
