We've got all sorts of great things happening around TMS in sports this month. Read on for your weekly dose of TMS Athletics news!
Announcements
The Hickory Classic - A Blue Devil Tradition!
This month on January 19th and 25th, TMS will be facing off against Hamilton Heights for our annual "Hickory Classic" games. On the 17th, both 7th grade boys and girls Basketball teams will be facing off here at TMS, while, on the 25th, both 8th grade boys and girls teams will be facing off in Knightstown at the Hoosier Gym, where the movie Hoosiers was filmed!
While the 17th is not an official "Blue Crew" game, we'd love to have all of our Blue Devils there supporting our teams!
The 25th will have quite a bit more fanfare. Not only will our cheerleaders be traveling with our 8th grade teams, but we also plan on having a fan bus depart around 4:15 from TMS on that day, with a capacity of around 60 TMS fans! Tickets for this fan bus will be sold as a package deal during lunch the week of the 17th-20th to all interested students!
Heights has not yet sent ticket information for spectators at large. Tune in next Friday for official news on these tickets!
Freshman Football Callout on JANUARY 10TH!
The THS Freshman Football team will be having a callout meeting for all interested 8th graders this coming week on January 10th from 8-8:30. Coach Tolle will be meeting with interested students. Make sure to be there if you are wanting to get all the most up-to-date information!
(Repeat) Inclement Weather Cancellations - For your information...
Welcome to Winter! Almost undoubtedly, we will have cancellations due to slick road conditions, snow, sleet, or, potentially, extreme cold. Any cancellation is a difficult decision that TCSC makes in conjunction with local and state coordination. We know it can be frustrating, but please know that we don't take these decisions lightly!
Following TCSC guidelines, if school is canceled due to inclement weather, any games, practices, or other after-school TMS Athletics events on that day will be canceled as well. (Weekend events will be handled on a case-by-case basis). We make every effort to work with other districts to reschedule games.
When this happens, TMS Athletics will communicate in three ways.
1) The event will be canceled on Eventlink. We recommend subscribing to relevant calendars if you have not done so following THESE instructions.
2) Coaches will communicate with parents and students through preexisting communications methods (email, Remind app). If you are unsure of what that looks like, feel free to reach out to the individual coach.
3) TCSC will send out communication through BrightArrow regarding the cancellation. TCSC has sent out multiple test communications throughout the school year, so if you have been receiving those, you are good to go! If not, reach out to Dawn Benefiel at dbenefiel@tcsc.k12.in.us.
