Both Greene County basketball teams have events today or tonight. Coach Tori Ogden’s girls play two quarters of basketball tonight in Ft. Dodge at Iowa Central Community College’s high school jamboree. The Rams will face Eagle Grove in the one-half of exhibition play. The Rams have one of their taller rosters in recent years with four players at 5′ 10″ or 5′ 11″. Junior Emma Shipley is the only returning starter from a season ago, but a total of eight letter winners return.

Coach Chris Nelson and the Greene County boys began practice on Monday and they’ll host Media Day later today. Recent seasons of Greene County boys’ basketball have produced upper division finishes in the Heart of Iowa Activities Conference, but overall the number of losses have been higher than the victories. Gabe Ebersole, Brynley Ruzicka, and Nathan Behne are three seniors back from the team of a season ago.
