DDS BASKETBALL SEASON IS ALMOST HERE

The official DDS basketball season will not start until Monday, November 26th, but a great deal has been going on behind the scenes to get ready for that day.

Joining the team this year will be Mr. Cissel, who takes over as coach of JV team. Joining Mr. Cissel and Coach Ouellette will be Mr. Mark Kuras. Mr. Kuras will work with our guards this year, leaving off where Coach Zanardi did last year. We will even have a guest appearance from Coach Zanardi sometime in January 2008.

The team has a very strong group of veteran players returning to the hardwood this season. They include Griffin, Hudson, Cooper, Austin, Adam, Shriman, Sebastian, Jon, Ben, Jackson, Danielle, Matthew, Christian, Roan, Zach and TJ, who has decided to play this year instead of being the team manager.

We are excited to welcome to our program a great 5th grade class that includes Andrew, Taylor, Maggie, Sean, Nick, David, Nicholas, and Matthew. It is a pleasure to have this talented class join our team. Welcome 5th graders.

The team is looking for anyone interested in being a scorekeeper for the varsity and JV teams and also for a clock operator for our home games. We will teach you everything you need to know, so contact Mr. Pink or Mr. Ouellette if you are interested.

The preseason starts on Monday, November 12th with a meeting of all players in the Bontecou Gym from 3:30–4:30PM. This is a required meeting for all players. Parents will meet at 4:30PM for an overview of the season.

One week later, on Monday, November 19th all the players will attend a basketball camp from 3:30PM-5PM in the Bontecou Gym. This is when the JV and varsity teams will be chosen. These are the only required meetings for the basketball players before the Thanksgiving break.

The season officially starts on Monday, November 26th from 3:30-5PM in the Bontecou gym. I hope everyone is looking forward to a great season.
