Boys Basketball Game 2/4 vs O'Dowd
This coming Wednesday night our Boys Basketball team hosts Bishop O'Dowd in a big showdown. While this is a big rivalry game that draws a large crowd from both schools we will be playing these games with no spectators from either school in attendance. The Freshman, JV, and Varsity games will be played in an empty Bink Gymnasium.
As a school we are taking a stand against poor sportsmanship from spectators. While we understand that this will change the dynamics of the games we hope that this sends the message that poor spectator behavior will not be tolerated and that the game will go on with or without fans.
For our fans that would like to watch this markey match up we encourage you to stream the game from home on Hudl TV. https://fan.hudl.com/usa/ca/piedmont/organization/2051/piedmont-high-school?shared=true

Binks Scoreboard Fundraiser
We are excited to officially kick off our fundraising efforts to upgrade the Binks Gymnasium Scoreboards. As we look to elevate the athletic experience for our students, families, and broader community by installing state-of-the-art digital scoreboards in Binks Gymnasium. These scoreboards will not only modernize our facility but also allow for enhanced visibility, sponsor promotion, and a more engaging environment for athletes and spectators alike.
To fund this upgrade, we are offering exclusive naming rights and high-visibility sponsorship opportunities to one or more private donors. This is a unique opportunity to support youth athletics while gaining long-term exposure and association with our thriving school community.
