7th & 8th Boys Basketball:  Middle School Boys Basketball tryouts have been delayed and will now start on Monday February 22nd with games beginning March 3rd.  As long as we have enough interest, we will run two teams (A-B Teams) for both grade levels.  7th grade will practice after school, 2:00-4:00pm and 8th grade will practice 4:00-6:00pm.  8th grade players will not be allowed to stay after school to wait for practice to start; they will need to leave and return at the scheduled start time.
Due to a shortage of available basketball officials, games will be played on Wednesdays in the month of March (3, 10, 17, 24) and will resume two games per week on April 6, 8, 12 and 14 for a total of 8 games.  There will be no games played over spring break (March 29 - April 2nd).
All interested participants must have a physical or MHSAA Health Questionnaire, along with a Brandon Athletic Contract on file before they can start practicing.  All forms are available on our athletic website: Winter Tryouts
