Athletes, please bring the physical examination form with you filled out in the proper sections. This form can be found in a black container in the bench next to the front high school entrance. Next, there will be no boys' basketball workout sessions scheduled for this week due to a scheduling conflict. And finally, temperatures are forecasts to be in the high 90s this week.
