Thank you
Due to numbers for our Girls Basketball team for tonight, there will be NO games @ Glidden Ralston tonight. The only option to make this up will be Saturday, February 4th. Due to the Special Olympics Basketball tournament hosted at West Harrison and all of the workers involved that morning we will play varsity girls @ 6pm and varsity boys @ 7:30pm for the February 4th games in Glidden. Thanks for understanding as this was an only option for Glidden and we need to get the conference matchup in.
