Last week, the Shrine School’s basketball team defeated the Memphis Police Department with an “unforgettable victory.” It was a game to remember!

According to the school, “the students played their hearts out, showing off some impressive skills and teamwork, while our cheerleaders kept the energy high with their amazing spirit. The crowd’s cheers and support were just as unstoppable as our team, making this a memorable game from start to finish.”
