Seniors!

Elementary Basketball Clinic

The City High boys' basketball team held an elementary age basketball clinic on two Saturdays in February.  The players and coaches ran drills and stations for the young players.

Team Attends Iowa Game, Team Dinner

Sunday afternoon the players and coaches attended the Iowa vs Minnesota basketball game at Carver Arena.  What a great game.  Way to go, Iowa Hawkeyes!  Then back to City High for practice.  After practice the team was invited to the Forresters' home for a team dinner.

City Wins at Xavier!

The regular season ended with a great WIN at Xavier.  City 55 - Xavier 50

Way to go, Little Hawks!

Senior Night

Ten seniors were honored before the game Tuesday night.  These seniors are a special group of young men.  They have established the work ethic and desire that future Little Hawk teams will learn from.  They are part of a new culture for City High Basketball.  They will all do very well in whatever the future holds for them.
