Our boys got to enjoy the last wiffle ball game of the year with The Communities of Don Guanella and Divine Providence. They had a blast and was such a great experience!
As High School season approaches, I wanted to take the time to thank the great people from these organizations, who helped prepare our players, especially during times we were unable to work with them

You don’t see catchers with this type of athleticism and 6.84 speed very often. Joey is a dynamic player and we are excited to see where he lands
@PBRPennsylvania
‘22 C Joey Demucci (Monsignor Bonner) scorches this ball to the right center gap and wheels the whole way around for an inside-the-park homer. Very pretty swing mechanics from Demucci with sneaky pop from a lean frame
