Emery/Weiner School sixth-grade basketball team

The Emery/Weiner School sixth-grade basketball team had an excellent season. After finishing with a 14-0 record, they took home the title of Greater Houston Athletic Conference Champs. Making the season even more special, they were coached by Emery alumnus Grayson Sheena (class of 2015). He coached the team while attending law school.
