You parents, like me, should be old enough to remember the WAVE 3 TV wrestling with Jerry “the king” Lawyer and Billy Dundee on Saturday mornings live from Louisville Gardens. Can you also remember watching them on black and white TV! Really, NO color on our TV’s boys! Anyway, they would have what you call a Loser leave town Match! Obviously, the loser had to leave and not comeback! (But somehow they always stayed around or was brought back to add more drama in this make believe world of professional wrestling) I just want to say, Come Friday Night, we are not ready to leave this town or locker room anytime soon! In fact, this TEAMS’S FOCUS, OUR TEAM, have made some preparations to “REMEMBER NOVEMBER”!
Were here!! This is what we have been waiting for since last season. As we look forward to the challenges each week of these playoffs, we can look back on the successful campaign of this regular season. We finished the regular season at 7-2. A great accomplishment and reward for all the hard work and sacrifice we put into this season since June the 4th. That’s right, way back in JUNE! Some people are ready for it to be over! ?? We can’t be so narrow minded and mentally tired! We know we have plenty of unmet goals to attain this post season. This time of the SEASON that is reward time! You are rewarded each week based upon Friday Night’s performance! With each win… WE get to…. WE get to… WE get to… WE get to… come in on Saturday mornings and eat donuts, lift and watch film. Then WE get to…… spend time with one another for another week of practice on Mon-Tues-Wed, WE get to…. Take off Thursday for our rest day. THEN! WE get to…… BEAT NEW ALBANY on our big performance night THIS FRIDAY!!!
WHAT A WEEK OF FUN! PLEASE, remember to continue to pick your son up and be excited about OUR team success! You parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, cousins, family and community are all a Hugh contributing factor in this playoff campaign. Let’s stay positive on the home front with encouragement! Don’t let your routine become a drag on you or US! Be encouragers about practice and this season as our boy’s are dreaming of playing for a while longer!!!!! In fact, WE need some special treats maybe on Wednesdays before and after practice. How about some “Bulldog Brownie’s” smothered with RED DEVIL icing? Sound good? I am sure you parents can come up with something else too! Please coordinate these efforts through Melodie Fridley. Many thanks to her as well, for all she has done this season too! She has done a great deal “of stuff” behind the scenes and is a valuable “TEAM MEMBER”! Her contact information is melodief@saintfrancisinthefields.org or her cell # @ 812-987-4312.
In closing, we are having our pancake breakfast at Boardwalk Burgers and Fries this Saturday. This will be a great way to celebrate our Team Victory over New Albany this Friday night. Please plan to attend and remember that this is for our team! (OUR TEAM FAMILY includes-Freshman-JV-Varsity +Coaches, Parents, Siblings, relatives and…. Community!) Each players $10 dollars are due on Wed. at roll call. You can sell more if you wish. Players eat Free on Saturday. Pancakes are being served from 8:30-9:45! Finally, but most important, we had a great response to our Sunday outing, as we said thanks to those at Oak Park Baptist Church! We are thankful for what they and “HE” provides for us on Wednesday’s and Friday’s! As always, call me at 502-773-8500 or email me at loldham@gcs.k12.in.us with any questions and concerns.
