News for the Week of June 3, 2013

Program Notes for the Week of 6/3/2013:

Schedule for the Week of 6/3:
Monday 6/3 - Concussion testing - 9:00 a.m. - meet in the Commons
Monday 6/3 - Camp Carey 3:30 p.m. at Troy

Weds. 6/5 - Conditioning 8:00 - 9:30 a.m. at Troy


Game Change:
There has been a change to the schedule for the upcoming year - the Amherst game which was originally scheduled for Sat. 9/21 has been moved to Weds. 9/18 at 5:00 p.m. for JV and 7:00 p.m. for Varsity.  9/21 is now an open date without a game.

Enrollment Figures for 2013 - 2015:
The Ohio High School Athletic Association recently posted the enrollment figures that will be used to determine divisions for the next two years. Let's see how Avon Lake compares to other SWC schools and selected neighboring schools:

Avon Lake                               434 girls
Brecksville                               591
Amherst                                  587
North Olmsted                         560
Westlake                                 546
Olmsted Falls                          443
Berea - Midpark                     To be determined, but it will be large - maybe the largest in the SWC

Avon                                      444
Magnificat                              586  a number of our better hometown girls are now playing for Mags.

As you can see, we are a very small Division I school, in fact the smallest school in the SWC and smaller than almost all of the surrounding schools.  For us, that means that we need to work harder than ever to keep competitive with these bigger schools. 


Video of the Week:
We are back this week with videos from the past season and this week we will be featuring another JV game. This game was against Midpark and the Shoregals came out on top in this one by a score of 5-0. Goals were scored by Molly Maloney as she dribbled through about 6 defenders at the 14:10 mark of Part 1.  Sam Stonecipher at the 16:00 mark of Part 1.  Addy Poole at the 11:40 mark of Part 2 and Molly Jeffries scored twice at the 3:30 mark of Part 3 and again at the 5:00 minute mark of Part 3.

You can have RESULTS or excuses NOT BOTH.

(DO)n't qu(IT).

The spirit, the will to win, & the will to excel are the things that endure. -Vince Lombardi

The price of excellence is discipline. The cost of mediocrity is disappointment. -William Arthur Ward

Don't play just to play. — Play with purpose. — Play to WIN.

At first, they’ll ask you why you’re doing it. Later, they’ll ask you how you did it!
