We will meet at Lamar in the east parking lot a little before 11:00 am on Saturday to travel to Southlake to play in the SQT. The late start is due to SAT testing around the country. PLEASE make sure that Nancy or I know by 6/2 (Tuesday) if you are taking the test and will you be meeting the team in Southlake in time for pool play. DO NOT RUSH THROUGH THE SAT TEST-MUCH MORE IMPORTANT IN YOUR LIFE THAN ANOTHER 7 ON 7 TOURNAMENT! We are in Pool "B" on Field 3. Our first game is at 1:00 pm; second at 2:00 pm and 3rd and final game at 3:00 pm. We cannot advance out of pool play since we are already qualified for the state tournament.
Because we qualified early we will be using the 4 remaining state qualifiers as a major "practice" each week. This gives us full speed reps against other teams and allows us as coaches to further evaluate the possible players for the 20 man roster for the State Tournament. This week Shane Buechele will be in southern CA to compete for a spot on the national Elite 11 QB team. This is a great honor and we wish him well! Chance Fuller will get 3 games of varsity experience this weekend and we are all excited to watch him compete and grow as a QB!
We are going from cool wet weather to a tournament in the middle of the day this Saturday with the high expected to be in the low 90's. CRAMPS, DEHYDRATION AND SUNBURN (OR WORSE) is a real possibility as we all adjust to the suddenly hot weather. Starting TODAY players, coaches and fans need to INCREASE their intake of fluids. As you know by Thursday or so it is too late to help hydrate for Saturday. So drink and get out those hats, sunblock and bug spray for Saturday!
