The Parkston Classic is underway! We have six action packed games today.
Come out to the Parkston Armory for some good basketball!
The Parkston Classic has been postponed and is now scheduled to be played on 12/31/24. Potential travel conditions for our teams coming from the west are too dangerous to justify playing today.
Games are scheduled to start at 11:00am tomorrow.
Basketball Apparel Orders are in! They can be picked up today in the Armory from 9:45 AM - 11:45 or tomorrow from 3:45 - 5:15 or anytime Monday during the Parkston Classic. Contact Coach Knippling if you have questions. Thanks!
HOSA has a few Red Barn items left. Items are $10 per item. They make great gifts! If you're interested, please email Carmen Bartells (carmen.bartells@k12.sd.us)! Thank you, and Happy Holidays!
