CAGE NOTES

High school basketball column debuts

Let me say welcome to the inaugural Cage Notes Column.

Let me say welcome to the inaugural Cage Notes column.

This column will publish in each Wednesday edition once the basketball season gets going. Its first of several Wednesday editions to publish will be Dec. 6.

This column will talk about upcoming events, the ins and outs and the ups and downs during the 2023-24 basketball season.

It also will mention such things as players who scored 20 points or greater during the previous week as well as mentioning any double-double and/or triple-double player we have that previous week.

So coaches, it is so important that you turn in your scorebook sheets from each game that I won’t get to be present covering, and please let me know if any of your players record a double-double and/ or triple/double so I can give them special recognition.

My contact information is at the end of this column.

2023 BASKETBALL PREVIEW SET FOR WEDNESDAY

The 2023 High School Basketball Preview will publish in Wednesday’s edition.

It will feature season-preview stories on the 16 high school basketball teams — eight boys and eight girls — as well as a couple of other stories, team photographs, senior group photographs, numeric rosters and schedules.

This will be my first-ever high school basketball special section to be a part of as my last such production was when I was sports editor at The Poteau Daily News when I produced the LeFlore County High School and Junior High Tournament Guides each January.

I must say this special section pales in comparison to that, so I hope you all will enjoy it.
