Mr Burlson,
Isn't there some CIF regulation against organized high school teams playing or practicing as a "team" in the off season any longer? Just wondering what's changed over the years, or is it only in basketball?
Wow. You are behind in time with that question. Do you actually think that every school and Coach would be going against regulations if it was?????
