Game Video Setback

Eau Claire Immanuel Lutheran recently learned that www.PrepsOnTheNet.com has gone out of business. While the news is somewhat of a setback, especially on the eve of the basketball season, alternatives are being researched. While games may not necessarily be live-streamed, the video will likely be free and easily accessible. Many students are away from their homes and this gives the parents and relatives the ability to watch their kids play. Please stay tuned!

Upcoming Week: Nov 28-Dec 4

For the upcoming week:

• Tue., Nov. 30, 7:30 pm - Lake Holcombe @ home (map) (MaxPreps pre-game)
• Thu., Dec. 2, 7:30 pm - New Auburn @ home (map) (MaxPreps pre-game)

Shooting Gun Arrives

This week a new shooting gun arrived at the Immanuel gym! This is a machine that mechanically passes to a player so that he/she can practice shooting. The machine is programmable to pass at different shooting locations if you wish. Here's a link with more information:

A HUGE thank you to the Immanuel Athletic Boosters for providing the money for this! Undoubtedly this will give both the boys and girls basketball teams an opportunity to improve their shooting performance.
