The boys basketball team was not able to play games today, but that did not stop them from taking a team picture in the snow with their new uniforms, and also have the rare opportunity to throw snowballs at their head coach. The boys will be back in action tomorrow in Verdigris. They will play Kiefer at 9:30 AM and Verdigris at 4 PM. All games will be at the Verdigris Activity Center and streamed on hudl.
