Blankets Creek Composite Team
Blankets Creek Composite Team
The Blankets Creek Composite MTB Team serves the student-athletes that attend schools that don't have enough riders to form their own, independent team. This includes Cass High School, Kell High School, Sprayberry High School, River Ridge High School, and all Charter and Private schools within Cherokee County. Current students and rising 6th graders for the 2024-2025 school year that will attend the feeder middle schools for these high schools are also eligible to join the team.
The Blankets Creek Family of teams all practice together twice a week (Monday and Thursday evenings) which allows us to place the riders into groups of similar riding abilities from across all six teams. It is a highlight of the coaches every year to watch close bonds and friendships between riders from different schools grow from the common ground of wanting to ride bikes. We'll often see the riders on the trails during the off-season just get together to ride the trails. No racing, no competition, just having fun with friends in the great outdoors.
The practices will rotate weekly between Blankets Creek and the Olde Rope Mill trails. The individual teams may occasionally have another practice on the weekends for some 'team time', and those are typically held at other trail systems.
