Summer Tryout Results
We had a very competitive tryout for our 2026 summer teams this week and the results will be posted to this website after school on May 7th. We take a lot into consideration when selecting teams. It is not necessarily the best player all the time. Yes, skill is very important but we also take behavior, the classroom, work ethic, basketball IQ, and how each player represents our program into the process. As well as filling each roster with the right amount of guards/bigs. Unfortunately, we have to make tough decisions and every year we cut deserving/good basketball players. Whether or not your son makes a summer team, we highly encourage them to participate in our summer lifting program and our individual skill sessions throughout June and July. There are no guarantees in our program. Meaning, if you made a team previously it does not guarantee you a spot on the next season’s team and if you didn’t make a team you have an equal chance as anyone else to make a team the following season. Our hope is that summer tryouts can be used as motivation for those who don’t make a summer team and those kids go and work hard to get better in hopes of making a team next winter. We hate cutting kids and wish we could keep everyone. We feel for those who don’t make a team and please understand it is never personal. We just have to make decisions based on what we think is best for our program.

Thanksgiving and Winter Break
We understand family comes first and want families to be together but it is an expectation that players are at every practice over Thanksgiving break and Winter Break. In our program, missed practices equals missed game time. Please understand it is the players responsibility to communicate any missed practice/scrimmages. There will still be consequences even with proper communication. Below you will find our schedule for the two breaks.
Thanksgiving Break we will practice everyday except Thanksgiving Day. We also have a scrimmage on Wednesday, November 26 in the morning.Â
Winter Break Varsity and JV will be off December 23-28.  Sophomore and Freshmen will be off December 20-28. Practices will resume on December 29. Â
Please let me know if you have any questions.Â
