We have several basketball and volleyball games coming up in the next couple of weeks. Spectators must have a ticket from a player that allows them to pay for admission in order to attend a game. Doors for JV admission will open 20 minutes before game time. Fans with Varsity tickets will be able to enter once the JV fans have exited the Event Center. We appreciate your support and cooperation in making the most of these seasons for our athletes.
