The Marianas Interscholastic Sports Organization is now working on the schedules for the respective seasons of the boys high school basketball and girls high school volleyball and football.<\/p>\n
MISO member schools have until Friday, Dec. 5, to inform executive director Nick Gross of their intention to join each league.<\/p>\n
Varsity (grades 9 to 12, with 12-member roster); junior varsity (grades 9 to 11, with 15-player roster) and 9th graders only (15-man roster) are qualified to join in the boys basketball league.<\/p>\n
The girls volleyball will have varsity (grades 9-12, with 15-member roster) and JV (grades 9 to 11, with 15-player roster). The girls football will also have varsity (grades 9 to 12, with 18-player roster) and JV (grades 9 to 11, with 11-member roster).<\/p>\n
All schools competing in each league are required to submit their student-athletes\u2019 most recent grades with a minimum grade point average of 2.25, latest sports physical, and the parents\/guardian waiver form to be eligible to compete this season.<\/p>\n
Only varsity teams will play for the season-ending tournaments, which will have a double-elimination round format. Organizers are also finalizing the dates and will announce them later.<\/p>\n
A coaches and officials technical meeting will be scheduled before the Christmas break or not later this month.<\/p>\n
Marianas High School swept all three events last year: boys basketball and girls volleyball and football.<\/p>\n
Early this season, MHS topped the girls basketball event for the fifth straight year after a 78-67 win over Mt. Carmel School, while Saipan International School clinched its third consecutive crown in the boys\u2019 volleyball, winning against Grace Christian Academy.
