Kenneth S. Salem Bishop McCort High School Principal January, 2013 Dear Friends of Bishop McCort Catholic, Thank you for your continued support of the Bishop McCort Catholic High School Athletic Program. I am pleased to present to you the 2013 winter media guide. This comprehensive guide highlights all the Bishop McCort athletic teams that compete in the winter season. Our student-athletes and coaches have been working very hard to prepare for another exciting season. I am very proud and thankful to our athletes and coaches for their commitment to our school. Our students do an excellent job representing our school in the classroom and in athletic competition. It is also just as important that our parents and fans remember that they also represent our school by how they handle themselves as spectators. Offensive language or behavior at athletic events is strictly prohibited. Area schools, game officials, and opposing parents carefully monitor our fanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavior because we represent a Catholic institution. We are expected to rise above controversial calls or unwelcoming behavior because we realize the importance of representing our school with class and dignity. I must insist that everyone adhere to P.I.A.A. guidelines for spectator conduct. Thank you to our alumni, business partners, friends and parents. We could not offer such an expansive extracurricular program without your support. I strongly encourage everyone in the community to support the advertisers in the Crusher Classifieds directory. Be sure to visit our new athletics website at www.mccort.org/athletics. You will also be able to follow your favorite Crusher team on this site or by joining our Twitter page at https://twitter.com/crushersports. May God grant us another successful winter sports season.

The Bishop McCort Youth Basketball Camps offer both boys and the girls entering grades 4 through 8 the opportunity to become the next generation of Crushers on the hardwood. The Camps are designed to provide a fun, challenging, and educational basketball experience through instruction and competition designed to address the age and maturity of the camper. Each player will be coached throughout the week with a staff recognized for their ability to teach basketball in an enthusiastic and safe way. It is our hope that each young athlete will leave our camp with the tools to become a better basketball player and the fond memories of a positive, fun-filled week.
