On October 12th, basketball season began for NEMS's team. This year the boys and girls seventh and eighth grade basketball teams are looking for a winning season.  The boys team is coached by Patrick F. and the girls are coached by Jared C.  The teams each have 12 games.  They practice on days in which they don't have game.

The boys team is currently 5-2, with 13 people on the team. While talking to 8th grader, Deandre C., he said the season has been going well so far.  He mentioned that their hardest competition is Eastside.   The starting line up for the boys consists of Tanner B., Mikey C., Jonah C., Jamie M., and Tyler S.

As of today, the girls team is 3-3.  Their team consists of 13 people as well. With seventh grade starter Callie M. out with an ankle injury, a new position has to be filled.  The current starting line up is, Alyssa H., Maggie W., Leci S., Naomi T., and Kayla F.
There is a seventh and eighth grade basketball game today, November 12, at John I. Burton against Eastside. The Burton Blog wishes both teams luck on their game.
