Spartan Senior Has Business to Take Care of Before Season Opener

Before taking the floor for the 2015-16 season, Scarborough Senior Hunter Janacek has a little bit of business to take care of next Wednesday afternoon.  Janacek who was the District 22-4A Offensive Player of the Year last season is scheduled to formalize his commitment to Lafayette University on November 11 by signing a National Letter of Intent.

Janacek and his Spartan teammates are preparing to follow up on their historical 2014-15 campaign, which included the first basketball play-off win in school history.  Janacek will be at Lafayette, in Easton, Pennsylvania for the 2016-17 school year.

Lafayette is hosting an online special on the 11th, during which they will reveal their signing class, including Janacek.

Spartans Basketball Starts Six Days From Today

If you are looking for a high school basketball team to follow in Houston, please consider the Scarborough Spartans.  The team begins their season six days from today with the first of five on campus games.  I've included below some information about the upcoming season that I am distributing to some of my neighbors.  If you are in the Northwest part of Houston, consider coming out to support the Spartans this season.

If you’re looking for some inexpensive, indoor entertainment this winter, and you’d like to support the activities of some of the young people in our community, please consider going to a Scarborough Spartans basketball game.
