The girls and boys varsity basketball teams travel to River Valley tomorrow, the girls start at 5:45 pm and the boys will follow. If you plan on attending tomorrow you must have a ticket from one of the players or coaches. They will be clearing the gym after the girls game so you will need two separate tickets to attend both games.

The Bloomingdale Cardinals Boys Basketball team came up short in their opening game of the season falling to the Paw Paw Red Wolves 81-58. Austin Amos carried the weight of the scoring in last nights contest with 21 points followed by Carson Fisher with 11 points. Others included Mav Manning (9), Cody Gallimore (6), Hitham Soubh (5), Ethan Gumpert (4), and Otto Cuesta (2). The Cardinals will look to shake off tough loss by taking on River Valley on Saturday at 7:30pm.

As winter sports start up here are a few reminders for everyone: 1. Each athlete and coach will get two tickets to each game. 2. The ticket will need to be filled out with name and phone number and presented at the gate with your admission cost (for contact tracing). Senior citizens and league pass holders will still be admitted for free with a ticket. 3. Masks must be worn at all times. Social distance when possible in the crowd. 4. There will be no concessions and no food in the stands. GO CARDINALS!

Dear MHSAA Community, Governor Whitmer’s press conference this morning included brand new information for the MHSAA and member schools relative to winter contact sports. We did not anticipate this delay in winter contact practices and competition, and today’s announcement has created many new questions. That being said, we are currently working to obtain further information on the MDHHS order. There are no changes to current winter sports practices in basketball, competitive cheer, ice hockey and wrestling as those activities can continue with no physical contact, using social distancing and face masks. The same is true for fall and spring sport 4-player workouts being able to continue now. The Representative Council and our staff will be using the next few days to gather all information and discuss current options. Know that the MHSAA remains FULLY committed to winter and spring sport seasons as this latest set of hurdles will require continued creativity in finding the way for both remaining seasons to be played. Further information with updated details will reach you early next week.

Many questions have been asked after the Governors press conference this morning pertaining to athletics. The MHSAA has not released an updated timeline yet. When a press release come out I will share it here. At this time non-contact practices can continue. Have a great Weekend!
