The first game will be played with the younger players starting at 4:00 followed by the older players starting after. The JV and varsity games may start later with the additional game added. The JH BBB and JH GBB schedule may be adjusted each week with additional games added pending opponent numbers to play two games. We will keep coaches, players and parents notified in advance as best as we can. It is great that our roster numbers are up in many of our activities that North Star offers and continue to look for games.
