Opening Week Arrives For Kimball, Potter-Dix, Banner County Athletes
New Kimball girls basketball coach Jaclyn Burks gives instructions to Megan Spicer and Sam Bemis during a recent practice. It appears that this season's roster might round out at about 15 players, but due to illness and COVID-19 quarantines, at times as few as five girls have shown for practice. The season will begin Dec. 4 when Kimball hosts Leyton.
Here we go.
The winter sports season opens this week under a number of coronavirus safety precautions for Kimball, Potter-Dix and Banner County high schools.
For the Kimball Longhorns, it's time for wrestling and a new basketball era with first-year coaches Jaclyn Burks leading the girls and Chad Miller the boys.
In Potter-Dix, it's all about Coyotes boys and girls basketball.
