Solid all-around performance last night with a lot of love/scoring spread around the team!

On to a tough T.K. team....

1-0 Loss @ Holland Christian

Let's bounce back @ Black River, girls! Finish strong.

Upcoming Week

Ladies, I argue that this week is perhaps our toughest week of the season yet: three games, good competition, nearing the end of the season, handling distractions, somehow staying fresh, etc.

BUT I'm really confident that we WILL handle it all somehow successfully. We have been trending up in multiple areas...and will continue to do so if we all stay together and keep our collective eyes on the prize(s).

Here goes with the tentative schedule for the week:

**Monday: game at Holland Christian...bus leaves at 3 PM (meet on the bus fully dressed minus cleats as we PLAY FIRST AT 4 PM)...Grace = team meal (after the game)/video...wear "Hail" shirts in school.
**Tuesday: game at Black River...meet in my room at 2:45 PM...bus leaves at 3:15...Leah = team meal/video.
**Wednesday: 3-5 PM training...wear black.
**Thursday: 3:15-5:15 training...wear gray.
**Friday: home game vs. T.K....meet in my room at 3 PM...Justine = team meal/video...Taryn/Kora = ball girls.
**Saturday: 5 v. 5 outdoor tournament! More on this to come. 

Finish strong, ladies, and treat those mothers extra well today! :)

1-0 Win vs. Byron Center

Way to gut out an important in-conference victory last night, ladies. Defensively, we allowed little and offensively probably deserved more on the scoreboard. But a win is a win!

Let's keep rolling....:)

4-1 Win vs. Holland

Way to bounce back from a bit of adversity as Holland closed in on the scoreboard in the second half with two unanswered goals tonight to win tonight, ladies--a very mature way to handle the match.

On to Byron Center!

Upcoming Week

Greetings, all!

Excited for yet another week of productive, rewarding time together. And, man, time is flying. The end of the regular season is just around the corner! Finish strong....:)

Here goes with the tentative schedule for the week coming up here:

**Monday: home game vs. Holland...what to wear in school = up to captains...meet in my classroom at 3 PM...Maddie/Morgan = ball girls...Rylin = meal/vid.
**Tuesday: practice 3:15-5:15 PM...wear black. TEAM DINNER AT SYDNEY'S (5:30 PM).
**Wednesday: home game vs. Byron Center...meet in my classroom at 3 PM...Bailee/Harley = ball girls...Laura = meal/vid.
**Thursday: practice 3:15-5:15 PM...wear gray.
**Friday: practice 3-4:30 (WITH 7TH/8TH GRADE TEAMS!)...wear black.

Looking very much forward to an all-around successful week, all. Go Hawkeyes!

2-1 Win @ Hopkins

After a slow start, I loved the way we responded in the second half of this contest, girls...especially after a tough break late in the game when Hopkins tied it up. Way to bounce back!

On to the next one...:)

Gray tomorrow for 3:15 training....

3-1 Loss @ Unity

We certainly gave Unity a scare last night, girls. Really liked how we stayed feisty and battling until the end. Nice job in that department against a tough team.

Let's get Hopkins!

2-0 Win @ Zeeland East

As mentioned at halftime and the post-game huddle, tonight was an all-around crisp, sharp game, ladies. Kudos to you all for taking care of business!!
