Getting your player ready...
Season No. 2 is just about here.
Preseason practice for winter sports will begin on Thursday — for boys and girls basketball, ice hockey, boys and girls skiing, girls swimming and diving, and wrestling.
The first contest for all winter competitors can begin on Dec. 1.
As usual, there will be a holiday break, from late December to early January, before the mad rush of state championships. Of note, girls swimming and diving will be from Feb. 12-13 and wrestling from Feb. 18-20.
State basketball will be capped on March 12.
Also, the overlap with spring will continue — spring play will open on March 10.
