From the Athletic Director
Basketball
Well the school has been hit hard with various illnesses and the boys’ basketball team has been no different. Over half the team has missed practices or games at some point. Sadly, this has greatly affected our on the court performance. We lost all 4 games this week, but fought hard with the players available. Monday vs. Lorna Byrne JV lost 18-36 and varsity lost 20-32. Wednesday vs. St. Mary’s JV lost 18-33 and Thursday varsity lost 25-38. We are hopeful that our team will be at full strength for the last week.
Notable Madrone Trail Performances
Cruz Cervantes recorded 10 rebounds, 6 points, and 6 steals vs. Lorne Byrne.
Roman Roberson had 4 rebounds and 1 assist vs. Lorne Byrne.
Titus Stewart had 5 rebounds and 2 assists vs. Lorne Byrne
On Thursday, Titus started his first varsity game and played great recording a team high 7 assists with some amazing passing skills. He also recorded 2 steals and 3 rebounds and played the entire game!
Way to go Dragons!

Girls basketball
Sport participation forms went home earlier this week to interested 6th-8th grade girls. Practices begin the week after winter break. However, I need to know by Monday if at all possible if you are planning on playing. Please email me directly or turn in the form to Miss Sherrie in the office. The cost is $75 for school sports. Please remember school sports are a big commitment during the week with practices or games typically 4 out of the 5 school days. There is no weekend commitment.
Sports physicals
Everyone who participates in a SOMSAC school sport must have a sport physical on file that was completed within the last 2 years. If you participated in volleyball or cross country we already have yours.
For those that need one there will be a sport physical day on December 17th from 11-3 pm here at Madrone. Cost is $20. Please pay for this separate from your sport fee. Sarah Roberson, FNP Complete Integrative Care, will be on campus to complete the sport physicals. You are more than welcome to schedule with your own primary care physician, but this is a cheap, convenient option for some. Please click below to sign up.
The Athletic Participation form went home with interested athletes this week, but linked below as well.
The Sports Physical form will go home next week, but is linked below as well. Parents/guardians please fill out page 1 prior to your scheduled time.
Forms and money are due by Friday the 16th or Saturday the 17th if you are coming to the sport physical day.
Also, we need an assistant coach for the team. If you are interested please email me directly.
Thanks everyone,
Jeff Roberson
