New Business:

 Discussion took place regarding the number of regular season games that should be scheduled considering that a team may play four games during the SVC tournaments.

Discussion took place regarding schools canceling games with little advance notice to the other participating school.

Tri-Valley requested that contest times be moved up to 5:30.  Several member schools expressed this would create hardships for parents and would conflict with after school practice schedules for other sports/activities.  It was agreed that a member school could  host at an earlier time if it was  approved with the other participating school.

Clem Feldker (H) reported that the boys 7^th grade SVC basketball tournament games would begin at 4:15 on Thursday Jan. 11 and Friday Jan. 12 due to the use of only one gym and parking concerns.

Clem and Cathy Naleway will send out blank tournament brackets for the 7^th and 8^th grade boys’ SVC basketball tournament so teams can start making plans for possible tournament games.

Jim Moxley (F) moved to adjourn.  Clem Feldker (H) seconded the motion.  The motion passed 10-0.
