PREPARING FOR THE POST SEASON

Last Saturday (6/3) we participated in our 3rd State Qualifying Tournament of the Season. It was a rainy, cool morning and we were thankful to be on field turf at Pennington Field instead of real grass (mud).

Our objective going into this tournament was to get a good look under game conditions at some of our younger players on both sides of the ball. Although the Vikes want to win every time we compete, getting reps for these players trumped final score. Having said that we finished 2-1 which runs our season record to 8-2.

In our upcoming 4/6 SQT's this Saturday (6/10) we begin to focus on the 20 players we believe to be likely to make our State roster. Believe it or not, we have just FIVE PRACTICES remaining until we travel to College Station. So these 3 SQT's and 5 practices will determine in large part how successful we will be this season. We will begin to set lineups and play with more speed and recognition as we grow accustomed to playing together. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT THE PLAYERS GET TO EVERY PRACTICE THE REST OF THE WAY. The practice/tournament schedule is attached as a PDF to the web site.

 VFND AND "20/20",
