Seniors Gerren Stipe, Brian Singleton, David Raymond, Chris Johnson, McArthur Strickland, Reginald Lumar, Kentrell Lockette and Irvin Humphrey had a wonderful night. The boys celebrated their farewell to the graduating Hahnville High Seniors.

The boys also celebrated the victory of district champions and going to the play-offs, which starts Tuesday, Feb. 14.

These boys walked proud across the Hahnville’s gym floor with their heads up high, knowing this is their last trip around the basketball court at HHS.

Coach Lumar said, “I am proud of the guys. We had a great four yeas and every year we have had great success.” He went on to say, “The team we have for next year will need a lot of work, because they are young, but I have a lot of confidence.
