Introductions took place.
Previous meeting’s minutes were read and Brian motioned to approve minutes and seconded. Minutes approved.
Dues are suspended at least until the next meeting.
Guests from Choteau and Fairfield were present. Mr. Shepherd, Mr. Gordon, and Mr. Tacke
Dustin Gordon, as the spokes person, discussed the possibility of coming in to our district. Questions ensued regarding team numbers and sizes. Brian motioned that we consider bringing the southern teams into our league and Ray seconded. Vote passes unanimously. We will take this back to our administrations to discuss the proposal of them entering our league.
Administrative passes were sent out in September. No one needs more of them. Everyone got them.
Discussion of AD meeting location changing to Shelby took place. The meetings will remain in Cut Bank
Discussion of rosters took place. If an athlete’s name is on a roster, he/she must play on that team only. No 5th quarters are allowed. There are emergency provisions if needed.
Jim read the section of the constitution regarding the rosters. Discussion took place regarding when the designated 1st day of practice is. This official start date for GBB practice will be added to the calendar.
Discussion of changing wrestling scoring system took place. The southern league scores using the National Federation rules (High school rules). Scott said that it wouldn’t have changed the results of previous tournaments. No action was taken.
Safety concerns during and after contests. Jim read from previous meeting minutes regarding this. CB had a problem at HB. Allen (HB) has taken care of the situation well, according to Jim. Allen stated that HB will hire security and lock locker rooms. Some AD’s are not willing to play if an administrator is not in the building. Scott stated that the situation would be handled more quickly if a security person is present. It may not stop bathroom incidents, but it will help. Dustin suggested that some kind of sanction against the problem school. (ex. That school doesn’t host any games for a year.) Jim Graham asked how we would determine what constitutes an incident. Jim Gregg asked us to consider constitutional wording changes for the next meeting.
Scheduling of GBB tournaments took place.
Scott asked member schools to send mascot information.
Motion to adjourn the meeting. Seconded: Meeting adjourned at 10:15.
