News for the Week of October 29, 2013

Program Notes for the Week of 10/29/2013:

Equipment Turn-in:
All equipment (equipment bag, warm ups) and uniforms (w/ the exception of the socks which are yours to keep) will be collected on Wednesday, October 30th between 3 PM and 5 PM in the locker room hallway (between the practice gym and locker rooms). ALL equipment must be returned on this date. No exceptions.

Please wash all uniforms and warm ups, bundle the uniforms together (home jersey and home shorts rolled up and banded with a rubber band) w/ number showing, and bring with you in your equipment bag. Each player will be checked individually so allow for some time to complete the process. We will not accept "dropped off" items. We will check the equipment against the contract you signed upon receipt of the goods in August.

If any parents are willing to assist, I would be appreciative. Jessica is unable to assist, due to her condition, and Sarah has other coaching obligations to attend to.


Postseason Awards:
Over the next several weeks, we will be announcing the numerous postseason awards that were earned by the girls.  This week we will feature All-Lorain County.

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

To be successful, you must decide exactly what you want to accomplish, then resolve to pay the price to get it.

It is better to look ahead and prepare than to look back and regret. -Jackie Joyner-Kersee

If you are going to be a champion, you must be willing to pay a greater price. -Bud Wilkinson

Every moment is the right one to be kind.  
Discipline is the fuel of achievement.
