JH basketball parents there are a few changes this week please be aware! First, this Wednesdays game vs. Anselmo/Merna (1/29) @ Merna is starting at 1:00 now instead of 1:30 (this change is due to the facility at which we are playing at and we are at the mercy of their changes sometimes). Girls A-game tip off first with 2-B qtrs to follow. Boys A-game to follow with 2qtrs of B.
This week is Conference Basketball. If the HS girls win Monday, there will be no practice Thursday for the girls JH. They will practice Friday in Thedford’s small gym. If HS boys win Tuesday, same scenario for JH Boys (on Friday will they practice in Halsey). If HS girls lose, JH girls will practice Thursday, same with JH boys if HS boys lose Tuesday. Practice on Thursday TBD. Location for Friday Consolation games if any of our HS team lose also TBD.
Have a great week of games to all our Knight Teams!!
