All,
Wow, what a week! The varsity team made their annual pilgrimage to Paducah to play some great out of state competition and bond as a group. As usual, the games were tough, but the boys took strides on and off the field, looking like a team rounding out to make a deep post season run. I hope everyone else had a great weekend too, and is enjoying a Sunday free from HC soccer. As we enter our final week of the season, I am both sad and excited: sad that they younger groups' seasons are coming to an end, but excited about the start of varsity post season play. We have a busy final week with Senior night on Tuesday against Lafayette, a road trip to Louisville to play St. X on Thursday, and the JV A tournament starting on Friday, and the last JV B Scrimmage on Friday. Finally, the District 42 tournament will be held at Bryan Station , beginning next Sunday. We will likely be playing on Monday (Semi finals). and Wednesday (Finals). I will send out the schedule as soon as I have it. I have attached a PDF for the JV Regional Tournament bracket as well.

Great second week of the season! All teams played this week and had great showings. The amount of growth and development already has astounded the coaching staff. The Varsity and JV Gold teams had a successful overnight trip to West Virginia: great bonding, excellent competition, and rowdy crowds to play in front of...even had A-lister Jennifer Garner attend our Saturday game. I would be remiss and derelict in my duties if I did not give a huge thank you to all of our volunteers, all of our drivers (of your kids and of others), and our logistics, finance and nutrition team of Betty & Stan Harvey, Brett Tinch, and Melinda & Luke Blanche. You all ensured a positive experience for these boys. We have another busy week ahead of us with District games, Senior Night, and all teams in action. Added Game on Senior Night... Need Volunteers Parents of underclassmen, with the addition of the JV Blue game this Thursday 8/25, we need additional volunteers. It's an all-hands-on-deck kind of night, as it is also Senior Night. Of our families, 8 are Senior parents & 22 are already helping with the Varsity game & Senior Night preparations. In short, we have a much smaller pool of folks to pull help from than you'd think for the JV-B game. Please volunteer!

Make sure to follow up with anyone that you weren't able to reach or ask people that you forgot on our Blitz sheets. At this rate it will be no problem to purchase new kits next season. Thanks for participating. Thanks for being involved. Full week of school and full week of soccer ahead. Let's make it another great week of growth, development, and building better habits!
