It is that time of the year again, basketball season! While a few students at Creekview are getting ready to play school basketball, others are ready for recreational basketball.
There is a recreational league that students here at Creekview play in called Cherokee County Youth Basketball (CCYB). CCYB is a Cherokee County district league that allows students, grades 1 – 12, to play ball. Teams play ten games in a season, and then enter the playoffs to decide which team will become champions.
Not only does CCYB offer students the opportunity to play basketball, but the directors also provide jobs for teenagers. Many students here at Creekview and other high schools work at the games by working the clock, scorebook, and the concession stand.
“I enjoy working at the Free Home Elementary School gym. It is good pay, and I love watching the basketball games,” stated Carley C., junior.
Practices have just begun for the season, and players are already anxious to get out on the court and compete. Unfortunately, games do not start for a few more weeks.
“I’m so excited to play basketball this season,” replied Rachel H., junior. “I’m ready to win some games!”
CCYB is a great organization that gives students, players, and fans something to look forward to every year.
“I love playing rec basketball. It is fun to play with friends, and it is good exercise,” said Olivia R., junior.
Unfortunately, sign-ups were in October. However, if you are interested in playing next year, sign-ups will be in October 2011 at your local elementary school gym.
