Crayton will no longer permit attendance in any capacity for basketball games in accordance with Richland School District One's guidelines for safe play.  This includes but is not limited to parents, teachers, coach's family members, and any school staff not directly associated with the team.  Crayton will not allow spectators into the building but is checking on the possibility of streaming the games online.  This information is effective immediately and we will continue to update as necessary.
