Basketball Schedules

I want to apologize for the inconvenience caused by the changes to our basketball schedules at such a late date.

When the athletic directors went to a "stacked" schedule for the 08-09 boys and girls seasons, we did so only for the purpose of the girls playing in front of more fans. Over the years we have been saddened by the lack of attendance our girls programs face. Our female basketball players play a good brand of basketball! What we had hoped through "stacking", and what had actually happened in the past, was that our girls would look up and actually see a larger crowd that might, subsequently, come to appreciate their efforts. Never do I remember any discussion of anything other than this purpose.

While we ran into issues that caused us to reevaluate our decision with regard to the schedules, be assured that what we originally attempted was with only the purest of intentions.
