Good Morning,

Seventh and Eighth Grade boys basketball tryouts are cancelled for tonight.

We are extremely proud to announce that because so many students have signed up, both grade levels will have an A and B team. Practices will begin after school on Monday, January 5th. Players will be ready for pick-up at 4:00. Parents and guardians of these student athletes...please be on the lookout in the next couple of weeks for more information. If you want to play basketball, but you have not submitted your sports physical form yet, Monday January 5th will be your last chance to turn that physical form in.

Finally, please be advised that no decisions have been or will be made about who is on the A or B team until after the first practice in January. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mr. Sweeney at sweeneyb@gobearcats.net or Mr. Gulker at gulkerc@gobearcats.net.

Happy Holidays!
