As of Saturday Feb. 1, standings are: Kinder- 4-11,1/2 Boys- 1-4, 1/2 Girls- 3-2, 3/4 Girls- 7-0, 3/4 Boys- 5-2, 5/6 Girls- 0-4 and 5/6 Boys-7-0.

Newcastle Youth League President Tara Bickham commented: “Newcastle Youth Sports League is excited about bringing the opportunity and availability of sports to our local youth. We joined a brand new basketball league this year for 6-man schools in our surrounding area that so far has shown huge success. We have seen our kids improve each week, all while learning the fundamentals of the game, learning to love the game, learning good sportsmanship and how to be a great teammate. We are excited to see what the future has in store for our upcoming athletes of Newcastle ISD.”

Fight on, Bobcats and Ladycats!
