Stafford Basketball Teams are Making News!

 

Stafford High School boys are currently ranked 7^th in state according to Texas Associations’ of Basketball Coaches.  Over the holiday break, the gentlemen were crowned the Champions at the 4^th Annual Eddie Nelson Classic outscoring opponents, Bay City 72-22, Wharton 85-46, and West Columbia 94-39.  In early January, the Spartans traveled to East Texas to face Coldspring -Oakhurst who they played in the 2^nd round of the State playoffs in 2006. The game went to the last two minutes as did the playoff game in 2006 but the Spartans went on a 10-3 run to defeat the Trojans 68-61. The Spartans, currently with a 14-3 record, will use the next three games to tune up for the much anticipated district game on January 16^th against the Sweeny Bulldogs, who are favored to win district.  Coach Eric Jackson said, “We are trying to stay focused and win one game at a time”.

 

The Junior Varsity boys’ team is also having a great season as they are currently 11-4 and the Middle School boys’ basketball teams are dominating on their level as well.  All 7^th and 8^th grade teams, A and B, are undefeated with 5-0 records! 

 

The girl’s basketball teams have gotten off to one of their best starts in the last six seasons! The Varsity squad beat Navasota breaking their 63 home game winning streak which spanned 3 ½ years!  The ladies current record is 18-7 in pre-district competition. 

 

The Junior Varsity team has gotten off to a great start as well with a record of 12-3 and earned 2^nd place in both the Dayton and Lamar Consolidated Tournaments.  Coach Nekisha Durham said, “The ladies are looking forward to competition in district with an overall goal of each team capturing the district title”.

UIL Anabolic Steroid Testing Program Information (click here for pdf version)

The following is information pertaining to the upcoming UIL Anabolic Steroid Testing Program.  Mandated by Senate Bill 8, passed by the 80^th Texas Legislature, this statewide, random testing program will affect student-athletes in grades 9-12, regardless of sport, gender or participation level.

After holding a formal bid process, the UIL considered all proposals submitted and selected The National Center for Drug Free Sport, Inc., to conduct the UIL Anabolic Steroid Testing Program.  The National Center for Drug Free Sport, Inc., also known as Drug Free Sport, is based in Kansas City, Missouri.  For more information on Drug Free Sport please visit www.drugfreesport.com.

The UIL has been directed to test a statistically significant number of student-athletes in grades 9-12 at approximately 30% of UIL member high schools.  The selection process of schools and student-athletes will be random and approximately 40,000-50,000 student athletes will be tested for anabolic steroids between this spring and the end of the 2008-09 school year.

With the finalization of the contract, the UIL Anabolic Steroid Testing Program is set to begin.  There is no set date for the first test to take place.  All testing dates will be unannounced, in keeping with the nature of the random steroid testing process.
