Winfield Tribe Athletics is excited to share that we will be offering an extended 8th Grade Boys & Girls Basketball Season through the CNR league this winter. We would like to extend this opportunity to surrounding school districts and their athletes who may wish to continue their basketball development beyond their school season.
To clarify MSHSAA eligibility:
Athletes who are currently participating in an active MSHSAA basketball season are permitted to attend and try out with Tribe Basketball; however, they may only begin participating in practices and games once their official school season has concluded with their home district. We fully support MSHSAA guidelines and appreciate cooperation from families and district programs.
Tryout & Sign-Up Night:
Tuesday, December 16th, 2025
5:00–7:00 PM
Winfield Middle School
Athletes must be present to secure their spot.
Our goal is to provide more opportunities for players to continue developing their skills, increasing their court time, and preparing for high school-level competition. We proudly welcome both Winfield athletes and surrounding district athletes who are looking to continue playing during the winter season in a structured, supportive environment.
We kindly ask for your help in sharing this information with your 8th grade athletes, families, coaches, and athletic departments. If you have any questions or need additional details, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you for your time and support. We look forward to working with athletes across the area who want to continue their basketball journey.
Warm regards,
Winfield Tribe Athletics
Alan Moran- President

📚 Yearbook Hunt: Help Us Find 1964! 📚
We need your help, Elsberry Community! We are SO close to completing our historical collection of Elsberry High School Yearbooks! 🤩
We are currently missing just ONE yearbook: the 1964 edition.
We would love to display a copy of the 1964 yearbook in the High School office alongside all the others, but we haven't been able to locate one yet.
Do you, a relative, or a friend have a copy of the 1964 Elsberry High School Yearbook (or know where we might find one) that you would be willing to donate?
If you have a lead, please contact the Elsberry High School Office during business hours!
Let's complete the collection together! Go Indians! 🧡🖤
