On Wednesday night, we're looking to pack the place as we honor Coach Russ Garey for his many years of service and dedication to our school, basketball program, and the Germantown Hills community before he begins treatment. We'll have 50/50 raffle (with proceeds going to the Garey family) and an on court ceremony between the 7th and 8th grade games! If you're looking to donate, we'll also have links to the various fundraisers! Tip-off of the 7th grade game will be at 5 PM. We'll see you there!

The 8th grade boys basketball team had breakfast following practice this morning to fuel them up prior to joining the MTHS basketball team and helping with lawn care and landscaping at Coach Garey's today! Coach Garey has spent years impacting Germantown Hills students and athletes, instilling traits such as hard work, dedication, and service in each of them. It's only right that this group continues to embody those traits. We're behind you all the way in this fight, Coach!
