Shirts tucked in, pants pulled up! T-shirts worn under the uniform jersey must match the color of the uniform jersey.

20 point lead- pull the press off! Blow outs should be avoided!

Please note the following rule change: The team making any throw in after a foul, made basket or after any violation IS IN CONTROL OF THE BALL. Prior to this change, no team or player control existed during a throw in. Therefore, fouls committed by the team making the throw in during the throw in will be treated as team control fouls. No shots will be awarded.
 
Have a great season!
