OTTAWA — Everyone knows how tough times have been the past year. For high school seniors, especially those in athletics, it’s been a pretty bumpy ride to say the least.

So when senior nights come around — like Tuesday night at Bader Gymansium where the seniors of the Marquette Academy boys basketball team, cheerleading team and dance squad were all recognized — it seems a little more special.
