Game report - 9/27/08

All I can say after this weekend's game is "Wow!" Everyone got after that ball and hustled throughout the game. It was good to see that anytime someone went down, they got right back up and ran after the ball. I was also impressed with the amount of focus the kids played with out there.

I want to thank the parents and their guests who came to the game. It was a great crowd and I trust that everyone had a great time watching the Cougars.

We will practice again on Tuesday at 5:30pm at St. Mark's. Our game next week is at Chapelwood at 1pm.

Here are some action photos of the kids. Enjoy.

If you have any photos you would like to see posted, please e-mail them to me and I'll get them up.

The games will consist of 4 five-minute quarters with a waterbreak at half-time.

The 10/18/08 game will (most likely) be moved to St. Mark's since we are playing St. Mark's other Pre-K team.

Good morning, everyone!

 

I just spoke with Steve and the uniforms are in.  I will be picking them up this afternoon. 

 

I will be at St. Mark tonight at 6pm outside the entrance to the school if you want to come by and pick up your uniform.  Otherwise, I will have them with me on Saturday at the game.

 

The coaches meeting is tonight and I will be posting the schedule and maps on the blog (http://stmarkcougars.blogspot.com) either tonight or tomorrow.

9/22/08

Good afternoon everyone!

I hope that more of ya'll have gotten your power back and are getting your lives back to normal.  Due to the current situation, once again I will ask everyone who receives this e-mail to reply so that I know who I need to call tonight about the upcoming week.

We will practice tomorrow night (Tuesday) at St. Mark's (same field as last time) at 5:30 pm.  I will be attending a coaches meeting on Thursday night where I will receive our schedule for the upcoming season.  The first game will be on Saturday, September 27 and the final game will be on Saturday, November 22.

Steve has notified me that the uniforms are in and I will be picking them up later this week.  Please let me know if your child needs one.  If you do not already have a uniform, please have your child wear a green shirt on Saturday.  I have two extras that we can rotate around if need be.

I will be creating a blog for our team later this week and will post all of the information in the e-mails, in addition to the schedule and maps to the various fields on it for easy reference.

I hope to see everyone tomorrow night.
