Vondette led the Cavaliers from 1965-94, building a record of 425-164 with 20 league championships, seven District and four Regional titles, and a Class B runner-up finish in 1970.

Tonight’s varsity game is scheduled for 7 p.m., after the conclusion of the junior varsity contest and dedication ceremony.
