Over the Holiday Break 2009, the Girls Basketball Teams invited the Alumni for a very entertaining basketball game. After the exciting game, they enjoyed food and refeshments in the lobby.
The Varsity team helped with a food drive during the Thanksgiving Tournament 2009. They collected a truck load of food and related items, and delivered them to the Waukesha County Food Pantry.
The JV and Varsity girls helped out at a Holiday Clinic in December 2009. There was no charge for the clinic. All they asked for was a donation. They raised $115 and donated to the Women's Center.
Thank you for your volunteer efforts to help better our community.

On December 4th the Spartans played Mukwonago away. Mukwonago's fast up tempo style and very athletic team took, Brookfield East out of their game right away. It was a long night as the Spartans only scored 12 in the first half and 30 overall to Mukwonago's 58. No players scored in double digits for the Spartans. East had a tough defensive battle against Pius on Tuesday the the 8th. The Spartans were up 15-13 at halftime, and battled in the third quarter only down by 4 going into the 4th. However not shooting well and being only 6-16 from the free-throw line they allowed Pius to keep the lead and win 37-24. The spartans played well, but need to put a full 4 quarters together.

The Girl's JV Basketball team opened their season hosting Thomas More at the Kemp's Klassic Thanksgiving Basketball Tournament. With strong defense and a strong outing by guard Zoe Zanella, the JV advanced to the Championship game against Classic 8 powerhouse Catholic Memorial.
The JV squad jumped out to and early lead in the finals. Tough pressure and not being able to finish in the second half resulted in the JV squad wrapping up the weekend 1 - 1.

opponent at Mukwonago on Friday, December 4th.

CAMP PHILOSOPHY
Our camp’s main focus is to develop the proper fundamentals of the game of basketball and improve your skills with and without the ball. All aspects of the game will be taught—from Spartan defense, court awareness, to our offensive strategies. Each camper will be assigned to a team and a coach. This coach will be with their team all week and help evaluate the players during the camp. On the last day, the camper will have an evaluation to take home. Our camp also allows the camper to compete in game competition. A tournament will be played through out the camp.
