Fall Sports

Congratulations to all the students who made cheerleading, basketball, or soccer! You can find all the rosters, schedules, and other information on the Athletics Website.

If you didn’t make one of the teams, no worries! The Cross-Country team is always looking for new athletes! Cross Country meets after school every day in the HMS gym. Please remember that you must register and have a current physical to participate.

Boys' basketball follows girls' basketball and will start around the end of September/ beginning of October. If interested, please look for additional information in the coming weeks.

We are looking to create an HMS bowling team and have already had some interest! If interested, please email the Athletic Director, Mr. Tucker, at rtucker@sd104.us.

Go, Sailors!
