The basketball season has begun at Buffalo High School. The season runs from November to March, depending on how well the team does. You must win the section games before you can advance to state. There are four different teams- The ninth and tenth grade teams, as well as the JV and Varsity.
The ninth graders tried out November 16th through the 18th after school from 2:40 to 4:40. The tenth through twelfth graders tried out November 23rd and 24th. They tried out before school from 6 to 7:15 and after school, from 2:40 to 5. The teams have already been posted, tryouts officially ended today (Tuesday, November 24th).
The Varsity coach is Nick Guida, and the Junior Varsity coach is Ross Mjelde. The tenth grade team is coached by Dan Dehmer, and the ninth graders are led by Mr. Starns.
The practices start Wednesday, November 25th. The Varsity and JV already have a scrimmage on Saturday against Orono. The boys are excited for the season, but know there is a lot of hard work ahead of them.
“I know the practices are going to be long and hard,” says Freshman Ethan Freer, “But it will all be worth it in the end once the section tournament comes around.”
