It was a bittersweet day for our basketball program. Our girls varsity team battled hard in the semifinals today, falling to Fort Thomas 41–50. While the result wasn’t what we hoped for, they competed with tremendous heart, determination, and pride. We are incredibly proud of their effort and the way they represented our school all season.
On the boys’ side, it was a thrilling 55–52 victory over Williams! The team played with outstanding intensity and composure and earned their spot in the Finals of the 2026 AIA 1A State Basketball Championships. The boys will face Fort Thomas Friday 2/27 at 3:30 PM at the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
We're so proud of all of our athletes and the way they represent St. David! 🏀

❤️ All Hearts In. All Sleeves Up. ❤️
The American Red Cross is facing a severe blood shortage — shelves are only 35% full. Winter storms, widespread illness, and increased hospital demand have created an urgent need for donors both locally and nationwide.
It’s time to save lives again.
📅 Thursday, February 26
⏰ 1:00–5:00 PM
📍 MPR
This is our final blood drive of the school year, and our goal is 45 pints. We currently have 24 donors signed up, but our potential collection is 61 pints — which would be a new record!
Every donation helps save lives AND increases the scholarship amount available to our students. It’s truly a win-win opportunity.
🎁 All donors will receive a $20 merchant e-Gift Card (Amazon is one option).
Sign up at www.redcrossblood.org
or see one of our MedPro/HOSA students for a flyer.
Please consider donating and helping us make a difference.
