Basketball season is quickly approaching and tryouts will be here before we know it. We have a busy week ahead with baseball/softball post-season starting. By the end of the week, we will provide specific dates/times for basketball tryouts, but plan on them occurring during the first week of October. In the meantime, be prepared by making sure you have a sports physical on file at school if you plan on participating in tryouts.
