So, we are looking at a “possible” start to the boys basketball season on Jan. 22.
Keeping fingers crossed that the winter sports teams can navigate the surge of the coronavirus pandemic and there are high school seasons.
Let’s take a very early look at the season over the course of the next several days. Once a schedule is finalized, it will be posted.
