From Robinson about tomorrow's (4/1) Middle School Girls basketball game:
We are allowing each opposing player to have 2 guests to come and watch them play. When they check in, they will have to give the name of the player they are there to watch. We will put marks next to that player's name and that is all that will be admitted for them. We ask that opposing fans go to the east bleachers (farthest from where they enter). They will be sitting across from their team's bench. We will also stream the games at nmsraiders.yolasite.com.

Cumberland Middle School girls basketball will have an adjustment in their schedule when we travel to Casey-Westfield. The game will now be played at 6 pm on Tuesday, April 6 in the Casey-Westfield High School Gym to allow for more fans to attend the game. Visiting fans may be in attendance. Spectators should enter the northeast gym entrance. It will be expected that fans are masked for the entirety of the games and that they will remain socially distanced from others outside of their own family. Admission will be charged.

The Middle School Boys Basketball game today at Marshall (6 PM) will be streamed at http://www.wmmcradio.com/.
