St. Anthony’s School is getting ready for hoops season and already sees lots of interest coming out for its teams. 
Even just as fall sports like volleyball and football are wrapping up, already junior high and high school athletes at the school, have been busy in tryouts and practices getting ready for the season.
The Sabres are putting a senior boys team on the court this season with a number of returning players. This year Greg Peters will be running the bench.
Unfortunately there are not enough senior high school girls coming out to put together a squad this season, however they are looking at possibly combining with another school to allow players to participate.
There is good interest however for the Saints teams.
There will be a junior high boys team this season. Chris Curtis will be coaching the squad.
There will also be a junior high Saints squad. Gavin Makse is coaching and says he has an enthusiastic squad ready to take the court.
One ingredient that all of these teams need for a good season is a slate of strong referees. Makse says there is a need in the valley for more officials. This is a great way to keep in shape, stay involved in the sport and learn to see it from another perspective, and also earn some pocket change.

If there is enough interest from those wishing to be referees, there is a possibility of hosting a clinic for training. For more information contact Makse at 403-823-3485.
