Middlesex County Public Schools (MCPS) has announced that all junior varsity girls and boys basketball teams and the JV cheerleading program will be suspended this winter season unless the floors in the John S. Clements Memorial Gymnasium are repaired in a timely manner.
On Aug. 28, pouring rain flooded the 1970s portion of MHS, which included the gymnasium, weight room, locker rooms, carpentry room and team and training rooms. The total estimated cost of damage is $300,000.
The Middlesex County Board of Supervisors approved an allocation on Nov. 4 of $197,000 to repair the MHS gym floor in hopes of salvaging some of the junior varsity basketball season.
