The Peewee Basketball games scheduled for January 24 and January 26 were postponed due to weather. Because those two game days still need to be made up, the tournament originally scheduled for Saturday, February 7 will be postponed until we are able to complete those games first.
Please note that it is currently tournament season for basketball, which may delay the makeup dates. However, all postponed games will be made up.
An updated schedule will be posted as soon as dates are finalized.
There will be no Peewee Basketball practices next week due to ATLAS Interim testing.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through these schedule changes. We appreciate your support π»π
