championship events. We have also partnered with The Peyton Walker
Foundation to increase heart health and Sudden Cardiac Arrest awareness and
with River Rock Academy as a supporting partner.

Lastly, we would like to recognize the commitment and contributions made by our
game officials. Simply put, we could not play the games without them. Anyone
who might be interested in becoming an official is encouraged to go to the PIAA
website for more information.
Thank you for supporting our student-athletes in District III and ENJOY THE GAME!
