Congratulations to the Volleyball Team!

This past weekend, the Crayton Volleyball Team became the Cardinal Newman Volleyball Invitational Middle School Gold Champions!! Way to go team!!

Volleyball and Football Playoffs and Championship Games Cancelled

Per our District Athletic Director: Due to the loss of games at the beginning of the season, and the lack of days necessary to run a complete Volleyball and Football Playoff, we will not have the District Playoffs this year. The district will be recognizing the Regular Season Champions with tropies and ribbons that will be delivered to the schools at the end of the season.
