SJNA & DME Academy Partnership Sees First Head to Head Matchup

DELAFIELD, Wis. – The partnership between St. John’s Northwestern Academies and DME Academy marked a historic first last weekend (Nov. 4) at the 2023 Chicago Grind Session.

On Saturday night, the DME at SJNA basketball team faced off against the DME Academy (Daytona) team in an important launching point for the partnership.

The Daytona team came out on top by a final score 85-72, but the Wisconsin program showed plenty of potential in its inaugural season led by head coach Welsey Person.
