Girls' Basketball News

So now all of you basketball players can say that you've been to Schoolsville, my blog, the web site that some of my sophs and seniors is "coolsville."

Here's the important basketball news:

No school or practice on Tuesday, Feb. 9. The school campus is closed.

The Hodgson game is cancelled for Wednesday and has been rescheduled for Monday, Feb. 15, Presidents' Day. Time to be announced.

Games are still scheduled for Thursday against St. E's and Saturday against Sanford.

NOT being permitted by the school to practice as a team, you have to find a way to get some exercise, if not basketball court time, during the next few days.

If you have a treadmill at home, use it. If you have weights, put yourself through a workout. At the very least, do some pushups, situps, etc. Take a brisk walk (staying safe, of course).

If you can get to a gym or fitness center if the roads are clear in your area, get there to work out and/or play basketball for at least an hour.

We still have 8 games to play and it looks like we might have to play them in a very short time period. So we need to keep in some sort of shape.

The snow cannot have come at a worse time for us as a basketball team. We have been playing good team ball and we don't need to sit around doing nothing (or shoveling mounds of snow, either).

So take it upon yourself to work out during the next few days of this extended break from school. I'll keep in touch with you as I find out more news.

Of course, you can catch up on your school work, too. Since you'll be playing lots of games in the near future, you might want to work ahead as much as you can.

Stay fit, but stay safe!
