JAMMED PACKED Tomorrow, Wednesday February 21st, we will be playing a boys basketball game in front our student body. It is going to be a jam packed affair that will hopefully leave memories that will last for years. We know several parents and fans will also want to attend the game so here is the information for those attending. Our student body will be sitting behind our bench, behind the scorers table and on the north side of the "Spoilers" Bleachers. We are asking the general public to sit in the two sections to the south side of the gym (Stephen Argyle fans can sit behind their bench). This will be the area outlined in red in the picture attached. There will also be much congestion in the parking lot, so you may need to plan on extra time to get into the gym. Concessions will be available, if you are planning to duck in during a break from work. Starting line ups for the varsity are scheduled for 1:30. Reminder, the varsity will play before the jv. We will also be live streaming the game on our "Go Spoilers" YouTube channel, so if you can't make the game, you can still watch it online. Get out your maroon and gold gear and cheer on the Spoilers!
Best of luck to the Spoiler Girls Basketball team as they begin playoff action today. The Spoilers take on the Four Winds Minnewaukan Indians at 5:30 to kickoff the Region 2 Division A tournament in Mayville.
Go Spoilers!
