Douglas MacArthur Cyclones

Coaches have almost completed the move to town, and we appreciate everyone’s patience during the transition.

MacArthur Junior High Boys Basketball tryouts will be coming up for next year’s MacArthur students interested in playing basketball 8th and 9th grade. 7th grade will have a practice and any summer information.

Summer schedules will be distributed following tryouts. All athletes must have an updated physical.

Thank you for your patience and support as we get things organized. We’re excited to get started and look forward to a great year ahead!

If you have any questions one of the athletic directors.

Make plans for a pizza night on Thursday!

Way to go, Addy! 🥎 👏🎉 She is not only a standout on the softball field but also in the classroom. 📚 Keep up the great work at JHS next year!
