Chairman Ray called following the meeting to discuss a concern on the schedule. It’s believed that the Monday/Tuesday of week 28 of the SDHSAA calendar are currently non conference games. We believe that it would be a good idea to keep it that way so I’ve reflected a proposed change on the schedule. The changed weeks are highlighted in red. This change will need to be discussed and approved at the March meeting. Please don’t plan hard and fast schedules from this.
  • A seeding format was discussed. Gebby had some ideas to discuss concerning seeding. Bring ideas to the March meeting for discussion/decision.
  • All-Conference band was playing at the conference basketball championships was discussed. Colman-Egan’s band instructor will put more information together and contact other instructors to figure out how to put it all together.
