Due to the likelihood of inclement weather, West Side School District will be closed to on campus instruction on Wednesday, February 10. Virtual instruction will be the method of delivery.
A decision for future dates will be announced later.
Tonight will look a little different for basketball games for a few reasons:
-Covid restrictions only allow two schools in the same facility on the same day for regular season events
-The weather forecast for the rest of the week makes future games this week doubtful
-The need for the SB to play their last conference game for seeding purposes in the district tournament
This means that the SG will play MVE as scheduled at 5:30 in Brady-Hipp Arena.

Admission fee is the same as normal: $4 for adults, $3 for students.
