As the end to the fall semester grows closer, winter sports are beginning to hold tryouts for their upcoming seasons. Boys basketball tryouts for all freshmen will be held from 3-4 p.m. on Nov. 8 and from 8-9 a.m. on Nov. 9. Junior varsity and varsity tryouts will be held the first Monday following the end of football season from 1:30-3:30 p.m.

Athletes who are trying out for basketball must be passing all classes and must provide their own workout clothes and shoes for tryouts. Head coach Brad Jeffcoat recently hosted a parent meeting in the gym to go over schedules and other procedures. For more information, please email him at [email protected].

Lady Bear Soccer is also gearing up for the new season and will be holding tryouts Nov. 29 and Nov. 30 from 3-5 p.m. Tryouts will begin at the high school track and athletes need to be ready and dressed to begin by 3:15 p.m. Athletes trying out need to bring tennis shoes; cleats are not required until the teams are announced.
