8th Graders Scheduling for 2020-21
This month the guidance counselors from the High School will be coming to each middle school to discuss scheduling for next school year. The girls strength and conditioning course is only offered in the afternoon (Mods 15-16) during the first semester. This course is offered to all athletes and if you are interested in playing basketball next year, I highly recommend taking the course if possible. The class will focus on improving your strength, agility and speed. Some factors such as AP courses or Lakeland courses could get in the way of taking the class. We have seen great results from the girls that have taken this course! Please contact Coach Hrusovsky if you have any questions.

Come out on Feb. 5th and watch these girls put on a show before our Varsity game (around 7:15pm)
