Game Tomorrow

We want to play a highly energetic and smart match with Bangor tomorrow to remove that nasty taste in our mouth from Thursday. Varsity players be ready at the fields no later than 1:30. Lineup and plan to be posted later tonight in the classroom.

Team First

Varsity: Everyone on the roster below is expected to be there, with cleats, with shin guards, with pinnies.

Junior Varsity: Be there no later than 3:00 PM.

Blue and gold / blue uniforms ALL.

For some guys, this is their last chance to beat Bangor. Always bring your best but get a good nights sleep and be ready to give your all.

Transportation to and from Games

I mentioned this before but I must mention again – it is district policy that transportation to and from games is on the school bus. If – due to various circumstances that do arise – a parent is to transport a child either to or away from a game – you need to request permission in advance (typically it will be granted) from the principal (srattigan@wilsonareasd.org). Copy me to that email please so I have a record as well.

Bus Roster for Northern Lehigh

The following is the bus roster for Northern Lehigh. We cannot have three to a seat. If your name is not on the bus roster – you will not be traveling with the team. Please do not come with your own transportation as this requires other permissions that we do not have time for now. We did not cut any players to allow players the opportunity to be a part of the team but in doing so brings situations like this. We look forward to seeing the players who could not travel tomorrow on Friday for practice and Saturday against Bangor – a home game all can participate in.

The games are played at the high school in their stadium.

Bus leaves at 2:20 PM from high school – be there and ready as soon as possible after school – we need to leave right at 2:20

Anthony Volpe – A good example

Anthony Volpe – shortstop in the Yankees organization was brought up a few years ago and was recently unceremoniously sent back down to the minor leagues. He could have sulked and quit, thinking I am better than this but he didn’t – he proceeded to hit 0.500 in the minors and made such a case that he got the call up less than an hour ago back to the majors. To all the players itching for time – you will get it by practicing hard, having a great attitude, and excelling wherever you are and rest assured – your time will come to serve the team and you will be ready – mentally and physically to do it! A happy ending. See you at film tonight at 9:15 PM

A win is a win.

The J’s beat Lincoln Leadership 5-1! Great job boys.

Varsity found ourselves in a toe to toe smackdown and pulled out the win 3-2 with half the team getting a yellow card – mercy even my blessed mother would have been given a yellow card in this game. In any case, Braden is my man of the match for not only battling relentlessly and constantly in the midfield – he congratulated the other team in addition to scoring a goal and offering sage advice. Warriors – we have (as do all teams) a LOT to work on always – welcome to life. Tomorrow we look to sharpen our blades and have a nice practice!
