The RHS boys’ basketball team played an impressive 31 games in June and July with a 16-15 record. Most of the games were on the road against AAU and larger school competition. The team is led by new head coach Matt Short, assistant coach Zach Gianukakis, and volunteer assistant coach Logan Short.
The team concluded their season with a community service activity at the Curlew Lake State Park on August 4. Players helped the new Park Ranger Joe Giampietri improve the swimming beach by raking debris, removing rocks, adding sand, and filling in washed out areas of the road. Ranger Joe was very appreciative of their help.

Fall sports season is right around the corner! Please read carefully to ensure your student-athlete is ready to participate.
Registration:
All athletes must complete sports registration on Final Forms prior to the first day of practice.
A link to Final Forms can be found on the school district website under “Sports Forms” (directly below the revolving pictures).
Physicals:
Athletes must have a current physical on file.
Physicals are valid for two years, so if your last physical was two years ago, a new one is required before the first practice.

Students with life-threatening allergies or health concerns must submit an Emergency Care Plan (ECP) to Mrs. Bauer, the school nurse, well in advance of the first day of practice.
ECPs must be reviewed by the nurse and provided to coaches before participation.
