A sure sign that the winter sports season is nearing is the appearance of new scoreboards and shot clocks in the Jefferson High gyms. We’re just doing some fine tuning to make sure they’re ready to work at the first basketball games and wrestling meet.
Speaking of which: The first home wrestling mixer is Thursday, Dec. 8 in the north gym, start time 6 p.m. A large group of wrestlers is practicing now and this should be a great year for the Panthers. They kick off the season this weekend, Dec. 2-3, in Cascade.
Both the boys and girls basketball teams return a lot of players. The JV and varsity teams will be in Red Lodge Dec. 9-10 for a season-opening tournament — a good way to start the year, as they will see teams they normally wouldn’t face until the postseason.
