The First Match and some reminders!

Despite the cold, our club showed up ready to play on Sunday to put up 50 points in our first match against Pius for a 50-7 victory in a scrimmage format. Our A-team racked up 40 points in 20 minutes as they cut through the opposition! A special congratulations to our rookies who really came alive to the game -- making shoe string tackles, penetrating runs, and generally dominating play for 40 minutes as they took the field for the first time.

The club should be very proud of where they are at as they start this season. Having 2 full sides ready to play is a major accomplishment and the first step towards building a sustainable power-house club. Every member of the team should be proud of this as we continue to build the club.

PRACTICE: Just a reminder -- there will be no practice this Thursday -- but we will have regular practices over spring break in anticipation of the Iowa tournament

IOWA: At this point -- with the addition of 2 drivers volunteering to drive on Sunday -- we should have all the space in the car pool for Iowa that we need. I will be sending out more detailed information to drivers in the coming days.
