The Iola boys and girls basketball teams may not play their first home games until Dec. 15, but fans will get their first peek of the 2017-18 squads on Thursday when both teams compete in the Blue and White scrimmage game.
Starting at 5:30, the junior varsity girls will tip-off followed by the varsity girls and then the boys c-team, junior varsity and then varsity.
Games will be shortened to six-minute quarters and 12-minute halves for the junior varsity and c-teams and eight-minute quarters and 16-minute halves for the varsity games.
Admission will be a pack of Gatorade, Powerade or water that the teams will use for away games this season.
