Upcoming Dates

Any 6th, 7th, or 8th grade WJMS boy that is interested in trying out for our Panther basketball team, please fill out the interest form by scanning the QR Code. Tryouts will be from 6:30 to 8:15 pm on 10/07 and 10/08. Students will NOT be allowed to stay after school and must take their normal, after-school transportation home. Please make transportation arrangements to and from tryouts. Tryouts will be closed to the public.

Also, any student trying out must have an active physical on file with Coach McCutcheon in order to participate in tryouts. We are looking to fill an A and a B team, so if your player is selected for one of our teams, there will be a mandatory parent meeting on Wednesday, October 9th @ 6 pm.

Any 6th, 7th, or 8th grade WJMS girl that is interested in trying out for our Panther basketball team, should see Ms. Odom for informational handouts. Tryouts will be from 4:00 to 5:45 pm on 10/07 and 10/08. Please make transportation arrangements to have your student picked up promptly at 5:45 from tryouts. Tryouts will be closed to the public.
