Friday Night Futbol:
Friday night marks the first installment of an initiative started by the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) called Friday Night Futbol.  Basically, it is a statewide event designed to bring attention to the sport of high school soccer before the first weekend of high school football gets under way.  If this goes over well and there are more than 150 schools participating this year, I think you will see this become a more popular HS soccer tradition in future years. Avon Lake will be participating in this event with a home game against state power Oregon Clay.  JV game starts at 4:00 pm and the Varsity starts at 6:00 pm.  It should be a great night of soccer/futbol - even the marching band will be performing.  Come on over to ALHS and check it out!!

Dad got Pizza?? - That's crazy!!
A reminder to everyone that once again this year Tuesday night will be soccer pizza night for the Shoregals as Domino's will hold a fundraiser for both the girls and boys soccer programs on Tuesday 8/18 & 8/25.  A portion of each pizza sold all through the day will be contributed to the two programs. So give Mom a break and dial up some Dominos!!

Once there, here are some selected examples of tweets over the past week. Hope you find something that inspires you here:

Success is not counted by how high you have climbed but by how many people you brought with you.

Winners don't wait for chances, they take them.

Reality is a product of our dreams, decisions & actions.

Confidence is everything. From there, it's a small step to winning.

Nothing is ever wrong. We learn from every step we take. Whatever you did today was the way it was meant to be. Be proud of you.
