Packer Fast Break Club

You may be hearing the faint sounds of basketballs bouncing on the court.  That is the sound of boys from Austin High School loosening up and refining their basketball skills.  It is not unusual to see more than a dozen guys playing pick up games at Ove Berven.  The weight room is not an unfamiliar place either.  The guys will be bigger and faster this year due to their own diligence of effort in staying in shape year-round. 

Dust off your stadium cushions and join the guys in their first intra-squad scrimmage on December 1st (time yet to be announced) at Austin High School.  It will be a chance to meet the players of this year’s squad, followed by dinner in the Austin High School cafeteria.  Come and get an autograph from your favorite player!

Their first game is a non-conference game against Saint Louis Park at 3:30 pm on Saturday, December 8th.  It’s a great day to be a Packer!  See you there! 

The Austin Packers defeated the New Prague Trojans and the Northfield Raiders and will put on their white jerseys and head back to the Mayo Civic Center hardwood this Friday to take on the Winona Winhawks in the Section 1AAA Championship game beginning at 6:30 pm.  Bring your face paint and vocal chords.  Let’s show our Packer Pride

Austin Packer Basketball is in full swing.  Here are a few photos of the 9th Grade, B Squad and Varsity Reserve teams.  Keep up the hard work!
