Note from Phil Kassen, Director:
LREI's basketball season continues. I encourage you to find a game that fits your schedule and to come out and cheer your teams on. You might enjoy watching one of two games that the 5th/6th grade intramural teams play each Friday afternoon in the Thompson Street Athletic Center. The first game begins at 3:30 and the second around 4:15. Fun, fast paced and a terrific way to learn to play team basketball these games are a longstanding part of the middle school experience. We also have three middle school and three high school teams, each with a few remaining home games. The remaining home games are listed below or you can visit our website for a complete list.
