Junior high basketball seasons switch this year. The girls season will run from October 21-December 14, 2019. The boys season will run from December 16-February 15, 2020.
Willow Creek School provides transportation to and from practices and to any games held Monday through Friday. Pickups from games are the responsibility of the families on Monday through Friday, as well as transportation to and from Saturday games. Any bus trips will return students to where they were picked up. The bus will pick up students in Willow Creek when the bus travels northeast and east (White Sulphur, Shields Valley, Manhattan Christian, Gardiner, etc), otherwise the bus will leave from Harrison. Parents must sign and date notes for any changes to that plan. Arrive 15 minutes prior to your bus departure time. Students may not drive themselves to games or practices. When teams have team dinners, pickups are the responsibility of the families.
The athletes must have a Harrison-Willow Creek Sports Packet completed prior to the first practice which includes a sports physical, a participation form, a concussion statement, and $25 sports fee. The sports fee is used for food in coolers on most away trips. Any interested players should contact Mr. Zach Dyk at [email protected].
