St. Mary's High School - Inspired by Faith

Good morning,



This year KOAA introduced a segment called "Hometown Hoops". Each week they provide the community with 4 high school basketball games to vote on. The game with the most votes will be the one they cover and feature in their newscast the night of the game. We are asking that the schools included in the poll send out an email to coaches / parents / students so that they can vote to have their game covered.

Next week's matchups include the following:

- St Mary’s vs Manitou Springs

- Liberty vs Pueblo West

- Evangel Christian vs Peyton

- Pueblo County vs Pueblo East (G)



You can vote using this link which will take you to the designated page on our website:

https://www.koaa.com/sports/hometown-hoops.

The poll can be found on the right side of that page if on a computer and the bottom of the page if viewing on a mobile device. Voting is open now and will close on Sunday at 6PM.
Let’s spread the word and get votes in!
