7th Grade Girls Basketball travels to Hill City on Saturday, Dec. 17th for a tournament - their first game is scheduled for 10:00 but they are on a rolling schedule starting at 8:00 so I would plan to be there before 10:00.
8th Grade Girls Basketball travels to Newell on Saturday, Dec. 17th for a tournament as well - their first game is 10:00 and they will play 2 more games after that. This tournament starts at 9:00 and they will roll ahead if they can, so again, be early. Good luck!

No Winter Sports Meeting tonight - Nov. 17th. It will not be rescheduled. Any information I was going to talk about can be found in the Activity/Athletic handbook (i.e. eligibility, attendance, etc.) If your son/daughter did not participate this Fall and has not gotten a physical taken care of, they will need to have that into the AD's office before they can practice. The coaches will be getting the information that they would have handed out tonight. If your son or daughter plans to wrestle, play basketball (girls or boys), or cheer, feel free to contact the head coach in any of those sports to let them know and they can get you what you need. Stay warm and safe. Thank you.
