COMMUNITY EVENTS
PLAYOFFS TONIGHT!
This is the first playoff matchup, and we are fortunate to be kicking it off at home! The weather should be much better than last week, when the Lasers beat first-place D1 Muskego to clinch the Classic 8 Conference Championship! Grab some KM Gear at the Laser Locker between 10 am and 7 pm today and head over to Vock Field for the show. The energy is truly spectacular with the new Culver's stadium, lights, music, fireworks and of course, some Laser Football!!!!
We are hoping for record fan turnout and a sea of blue and gold! The game starts at 7:00 PM. Come out and SUPPORT YOUR TEAM. Purchase tickets or live stream!
KEEP OFF THE GRASS!
Not to sound like a crabby neighbor, but the field at Vock's North lot is well on its way to becoming a second softball diamond and a great deal of work has been put into preparing the area. With all of the rain, we cannot have vehicle traffic on the field... no exceptions. Parking is available at Wales Elementary, KMHS, and Bethlehem Lutheran. We also ask that you NOT park on their lawn. Thanks!
WE HAVE THE BEST FANS!!! Thank you to everyone who came out last night, braving the wind and rain, to cheer on our amazing KM Lasers! It was truly a great night, and we cannot thank you enough for your support.
