Check out this week’s schedule of events. It's another busy week ahead. Please note that times and details may change, so be sure to follow updates from coaches for the most accurate information. Good Luck to all!

We are not sure how to fully express our thanks to all of the alumni, assistant coaches, friends, family, and every part of the Highlander basketball family who showed up tonight for the Tom Schlimgen Court Dedication. A special thank you to Doug and Angie Hall for all of their hard work organizing both the event and the meal at the VFW that followed. It was truly amazing to see such a wide range of ages—young and old—come together to support and celebrate this special occasion.
Here is a quick video highlighting the many years of coaching at Scotland—please enjoy:
