Baseball, Basketball Athletes Prepare in Off-Season

Many young athletes will be working hard in the fall off-season under the tutelage of  Medford High School basketball and baseball coaches.

The young athletes will be led through drills and practice followed by a game each week.  The program runs for eight weeks and is $50 per player.  The cost also covers free admission to MHS basketball home games and two free clinics run by coaches and players.
