Upcoming Week...and a Bit Beyond!

Hello, all! What a beautiful weekend already! Hope all is well with all of you.

Thanks for making the end of this past week a positive one, girls. Please remember the helpful, insightful words of wisdom mentioned by many of you during our impromptu outdoor team meeting this past Thursday. Friendly reminder of the theme of that convo: HOW DO WE KEEP OUR RESOLVE, STAY MOTIVATED, AND KEEP THIS THING GOING IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION! :)

Important times are upon us...for many reasons. What can you specifically and we as a team do to FINISH STRONG?!

Here's the tentative schedule for this upcoming week and a bit beyond...our last regular season week of the season:

**Monday: practice 3-5 PM...wear gray...vote on alternative team captain for the week (any "theme" will do).
**Tuesday: practice 3-5 PM...wear black.
**Wednesday: home game vs. Comstock Park at 5 PM (no JV game)...PARENT NIGHT (ALL PARENTS)...announcements/introductions occur at halftime of the game...what to wear in school = TBD...meet in my room by 245 PM...FOOD/BEVERAGES = BRING YOUR OWN UNLESS SOMEONE WANTS TO STEP UP TO PROVIDE (IN THAT CASE, LET ME KNOW ASAP!)! WIN!
**Thursday: practice 3-4 PM...wear gray.
**Friday: practice 3-5 PM...wear black.
**Weekend: Team Sleepover??? 
**Monday (MEMORIAL DAY): 4-530 PM practice...wear gray...Team Pot-luck Dinner in the HS cafe at 530 PM.
**Tuesday: home District game vs. Gull Lake at 5 PM. More details to come! WIN!

Once again, LET'S FINISH STRONG, LADIES! MUCH LEFT TO WORK FOR...INCLUDING 4 OF 5 TEAM GOALS: ACADEMICS, HALFTIME LEADS, WIN A DISTRICT GAME...AND STAY TOGETHER!!!

Take care, and see you all on Monday ready to work and get better in practice.

1-0 Double OT Loss at H.C.

Keep those collective heads up, girls! Tough one last night, but again, it was mostly an effort to be proud of vs. a tough team on a challenging field. Let's take some positives out of it, and learn from the rest!

Now, we move on, welcome with open arms Maddie, Morgan, and Shania to the team, get better at practice (practice field today...wear gray), and keep smilin'!

Two guaranteed games left in the season....FINISH STRONG! 

3-1 Win vs. Byron Center...and Updates

First, the updates, all:

**Next Wednesday's Parent Night home game is TENTATIVELY now set for a 5 PM start...with halftime now reserved for the introductions of respective families (approx. 5:40 PM).  Hope that will allow for as many parents as possible to be a part of the special day! Please be near the scoreboard with roughly 5 mins. left in the first half!

**We will have a (near) end-of-season program-wide Dessert Banquet on Monday, June 6 at 6:30 P.M. in the high school Forum Room. Girls, please "dress up", bring a dessert to pass for the whole group as well as personal beverages and utensils. Now, I say "near end-of-season" since I fully plan on us still playing a REGIONAL GAME on that following Tuesday! :)  Just have to get the Banquet in before the end of the school year is all. :)

Ok, the rest...

Nice job last night overall, girls! Especially after an extra challenging past week. Loved how you responded immediately after going down a goal early on and then holding a halftime lead (team goal), taking care of business, and getting back in the win column...and on a Monday!  wink wink....

Now, as mentioned today in practice, we have a TREMENDOUS opportunity tomorrow in our last conference game at Holland Christian:  a.) become the first Hamilton team (male/female) EVER to win a game on H.C.'s home turf and b.) probably jump Z. West in the final conference standings to finish alone in 3rd place in the league. WE CAN DO THIS!!!  Believe it, first and foremost.

FINISH STRONG!
