Our Friday night game is here for the JV Regional Tournament at 6pm vs. Lexington Catholic.
Details are in the email below for the rest of the games on Saturday if we should win on Friday night. ------------------------- From Nick Maxwell at Great Crossing: We are excited to host the tournament this weekend and a big thank you to Jason for organizing all of this weekend! Just a bit of information for both days:
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.

We are under 2 weeks left in the regular seasons. And the crazy week (3 home games) is behind us. It was a strong week of performances by all teams, and really a fun week with Varsity sweeping the district with a 4-0 win over Frederick Douglass, earning the #1 seed for the 42nd District Tournament. As all teams continue to learn and grow, I would like to remind all players and parents that playing for HC is a privilege, and grades and behavior must be on par with what we expect from a Henry Clay Boys Soccer student-athlete. I have spoken with several students this week about both grades and immature behaviors. Behavior - both on and off the field - are reflections of the program as a whole and will be dealt with by warnings, suspensions from the squad, or dismissal if that is what is warranted. Grades - must be passing at least 4 classes and holding a 2.0 GPA. Failure to meet those requirements will result in a week's suspension until grades are up. COOKIE DOUGH WRAP All cookie dough money and forms should have been submitted this week. If anyone still has forms/money they need to contact Betty today with those numbers so that she can get them ordered, and submit the money and form to me tomorrow at school. By all metrics the fundraiser was a success. Now we just have to deliver the dough when it comes in - in about 2 weeks. VARSITY Overnight Trip to Paducah:1. FOOD ORDERS FOR PADUCAH 1.

Or plan to come have dinner with your family. Hours: 4:00pm-9:00pm. JV B Season Wrap JV B are finishing up their final official games today, as I type this email. They will continue to practice the next 2 weeks, and culminate with an inter-squad scrimmage on Friday 9/29 at 7:30pm at Henry Clay, following the JV A Regional Tournament game vs. Lexington Catholic. They will wear their mint-colored warm up shirts for the game, and have their uniform kits ready to turn in prior to the match.

Very big week upcoming. There will be 3 home games this week - Dunbar (Tuesday), Frederick Douglass (Thursday), and Huntington High (Saturday). Please be on top of your volunteer shifts...and let Betty or Emily know if you are able to help out. By far our busiest week of the year, and it is going to be a fun one! Theme Nights We are doing the following theme nights for students this week: Tuesday vs. Dunbar (is a white out) Thursday vs. Douglass (is a black out) Saturday vs. Huntington is youth soccer day (any kid in a youth soccer jersey get in free, as does their family) Please help spread the word to friends and neighbors who have kids at HC. Fundraiser Wrap & Cookie Dough Turn-In All players need to bring money and order sheets to Room 4 on Wednesday: 4:45 for JV A & B players, then training afterwards on grass.

I hope you all enjoy the soccer-free weekend! We are at the halfway point for the regular season. It flies by!! We have only a few items over this holiday weekend. We have no games during the week, but make sure you have rides lined up to our game at Moeller (Cincinnati) on Saturday 9/9 1pm (JV A) and 3pm (V). The first fundraiser check-in will be on Wednesday 9/6 at 5:30pm on the grass field. Team Captains will check in with their team to make sure everyone has started to sell their boxes to support the program. I sent an email earlier in the week with some directions that can be sent again if you need it. The fundraiser will conclude on 9/12, when we will collect all order forms and all money. Have a great long weekend!!
