MYBO FOR 7TH AND 8TH GRADERS BEGINS WEEK OF APRIL 12 The Morgantown Youth Basketball Organization will begin their spring season on the week of April 12th (Times to be announced). ÒThis is a terrific opportunity for the 7th graders to get an opportunity to work with Coach Yester and his staff,Ó said coordinator Coach Hoffman. ÒThey get to run the same drills and system that is used with the high school teams. This gives the coaches and players a head start on their future teams and coaches. The 8th graders will run the system that is used with their high school team as well. In the mean time some players are joining other travel teams to give them something to do for the month of March, however a little time off might help them more than anything,Ó added Hoffman. More information will be coming in future newsletters. |
