09.20.2001 We'll be gearing up soon for the start of the new basketball season.  Our game changes again this year with the start of full-court pressing in the second half.  We'll get up to speed on this, and any other rules changes when practice gets underway in early November.  Polser will again be our practice facility, and this year I'm going to request Thursday evening.  With the early hour reserved for lower grades, my best guess would be the 7:00-9:00 time slot.  But nothing can be confirmed yet. If you're not currently participating in football, soccer or fall baseball, I suggest you start shooting baskets and playing pickup games with your friends at recess and after school just to start preparing for the season.  There will be a great deal of running this year, so we need to be in good shape!
