MHS Basketball Family Fun Night, Dec. 26

The Marshfield boys’ basketball team will host a Family Fun Night on Saturday, Dec. 29th, at the Pirate Palace in Coos Bay.  The varsity will play Newport in a rematch of last season’s opening game at the OSAA 4A Tournament in Forest Grove.  The Cubs won and went on to finish third, while the Pirates finished fourth.  A FREE Youth Basketball Skills Clinic will lead the Fun Day from 2:30 to 6 p.m. in the Main Gym for Grades K-6.  Student-athletes will run the program.  Games, contests and fundamental skills will be coached.  The Jayvee game with Newport begins at 4:30 p.m. and the Varsity at 6 p.m.  Admission is $2 for students and kids, $3 for adults and $6 for families.  All proceeds will benefit the MHS Boys’ Basketball Program.  Activities are also planned for half-time of each contest, Skills Demonstrations by the youth from the earlier Clinic, and a special Alumni Shooting Competition.
