Basketball season at Humboldt Collegiate Institute is upon us.

After a long week of tryouts, the senior girl's basketball team at HCI has a final roster. The team was cut down to twelve players after starting with sixteen during tryouts.

The season is set to begin next week on December 7th. The HCI Mohawks will host the tournament to get the season tipped off.

"On any team, you really want to focus on the defense and of course pressing and press breaking, and the offense will come eventually," said Head Coach Cory Popoff on preparing for the first game of the season.

Other basketball programs in the local area have tipped off the season already and are looking to work their way to Hoopla 2019.
