Each time I step on the basketball court, I never know what will happen. I live for the moment. I play for the moment. Michael Jordan. Our new floor is looking good! Can’t wait to see games on it this season.

Our 3 sport athlete shirts are in! I’ll be reaching out to all 3 sport athletes to come pick them up! Congrats on a great accomplishment! #elitepackofbulldogs
Loved the positive energy and teaching going on at workouts today! #traditionunderconstruction
Athletics Family,
As we get ready to start I am reminded of an Abraham Lincoln quote: We can complain that rose bushes have thorns, or we can rejoice because thorn bushes have roses! Is this exactly what we want? No! So my challenge to all of you is to make the best of this! Please click on the link and spend some time reading over our guidelines so you can be prepared when your team starts. Your coaches will be reaching out to you on where and when you will be practicing.
