Chattooga High School (CHS) basketball fans will get their first look at the 2025-2026 girls’ and boys’ teams next Tuesday, November 11th, during the annual Red and Black Scrimmage at CHS. The intersquad matchup serves as an important kick-off to the new season, inviting the entire community to meet the athletes.

The scrimmage games are scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM next Tuesday evening. The Lady Indians will take the court first, followed immediately by the boys’ team.

This highly anticipated event offers a spirited, casual atmosphere for coaches to evaluate their rosters and for the community to show early support for the players who will be representing the school this season.

Unique Donation Drive Replaces Gate Fee

While admission to the Red and Black Scrimmage is completely free, the basketball program is utilizing the event as a creative way to gather essential supplies for the athletes as they embark on a demanding season schedule.

Instead of charging a traditional gate fee, the teams are asking families and attendees who are able and willing to consider donating practical items at the door.

The suggested donation items include:

  • Tide Pods (for uniform cleaning)
  • A case of bottled water
  • A 6-pack of Gatorade

These contributions will directly help provide for the players’ needs throughout the season, ensuring they are well-hydrated and their uniforms remain clean for every contest.

“We would love to invite everyone to come watch our intersquad scrimmage next Tuesday night,” a team spokesperson stated. “This is a great way for the community to meet these athletes that will be representing our school this season and help us prepare for the challenges ahead.”

Community members are encouraged to fill the stands, support the teams, and help stock the necessary supplies for the upcoming winter season.
