Few things (VERY IMPORTANT, SO PLEASE READ).
1. GREAT TOURNAMENT. Just as you girls left it all on the field, I think I will too and not say much more than I did in our lengthy post game talk; so let's leave it at that. Ok, I'll at least say this...-- I have sincerely never been more proud of you girls!
2. No practice Monday. Give your bodies a rest and ice any bruises and injuries. You've earned it!
3. We have a very important game this Tuesday. This ends our spring season. We play a very good Thunder United team. It will determine us finishing in the top half of our division or the bottom half. We will be missing Anna, Megan, and Sheena. I will see if Maria can play. If anyone can think of another guest player, please let me know. Remember, its at PENDRY Fields. They are in great condition this year.
4. I don't have a date yet, but I would like to have everyone over (families) for a few reasons...
a. Most importantly, a very tough farewell (wow, this is very tough...) to Anna Clephane. Anna will be leaving our team to follow her dream of being the best basketball player she can be. As much as I will miss such a talented, athletic, fast, strong, incredible nose for goal, crazy, funny, hilarious, BEAST of a Striker..., she has made a tough decision to leave a team I know she loves (us!) to focus more of her time on a basketball team that will require any extra time she has. I believe it's a very selfless act on her part in not trying to do both, knowing she'd be missing most of our practices and games. So, this party will be, first and foremost, to celebrate the years Anna gave this team!
b. We will celebrate our season! It has been a success to say the least. Girls, weren't we like a struggling Division 4 team a few years ago, to now Runner Up State Champions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW
c. And finally, this will be an opporunity to welcome two (possibly three) new teammates to our team. The two confirmed are both from the Kings Elite 1 team. Katlyn Nichols and Maleah Hirn. As you all may or may not know, we have had about 7 talented girls want to join our team. Katlyn will add a new element to our defense and Maleah to our offense. Both are very talented and great girls with great families. Please make sure you show your best in making them know they are now part of the WieKings Family!
Hopefully we can get peoples schedules to work over the next two weeks to make this happen; if not, we may need a volunteer to open up their house for this. My house will be under construction beginning in two weeks... I will put an email out in a day or two with a date, and then we can comment below to see who can and can not make it and work from there... (Eric, when do you get back from Mickey land?).
See you all Tuesday! Thanks for two very fun weekends!
Brian
A couple of things about tomorrow's game:
ReplyDelete1. Pendery Field #1
2. Be at the Field by 6:30 Ready to warm up (Game at 7:00)
3. Wear White (Bring Red)
If Brian's house is unavaliable we will be happy to open up our house for the party.
One of the greatest things, for me personally, about this weekend was the total team effort, from the parents to the coaches and most importantly these young ladies who displayed both excellent team work and sportsmanship the last couple of weeks. They represented the team and the club with class, both on and off the field.
I am SO PROUD of each one of you.
Coach Gary
