As an educational system we are experiencing some adversity currently with the new "no spectator" rule. Thinking about three teams who have contacted us to let us know their team is in quarantine, watching the MS girls play this evening, and reflecting on the emotion related to the situation, I write this post in hopes you will also reflect. Our students are watching how we deal with this adversity and the COVID situation in general. Are we demonstrating Dragon PRIDE? Will we allow this situation to define how we treat each other or who we are? This is the perfect opportunity for us to model the PRIDE expectations. Please consider pulling the positive from the situation and support our students engaged in activities. Let's celebrate that we are still in school face to face and continuing our activities.
KSHSAA has received an appeal related to the "no spectator" rule for MS and HS activities. The hearing for the appeal will be tomorrow, Dec. 4, at 1:00 PM. It can be watched through live stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bV4fPEWKU9s&feature=youtu.be.
Just a quick reminder/heads up!

KSHSAA ruled last week that from Dec. 1 - Jan. 28 there are to be no spectators at our athletic events - this includes MS and HS games. We will be live streaming all the games through our Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcT4G2ga2GdiFOW0pEA3RQg.
We are working on our live stream. Will hopefully get it up soon. The game is being recorded. Due to some other difficulties we started late by about 15 minutes. Thanks for your patience.
Per KSHSAA Rules: Spectators will not be allowed at High School Basketball Games until January 28, 2021. Games will be live streamed.
