Tryouts for the boys’ basketball team will be held in the gym after school on Oct. 27, and those who hope to make the team already are involved in preseason conditioning.

“It has been very tough with lots of running,” sophomore Juan Rodriguez said.

With the season set to open in November, all the prospective players are working to improve during the final preseason stretch. Returning players appear confident that the conditioning will benefit the team.

“It looks like we will be a lot better this year,” sophomore Jett Morgan said.
