Some excerpts from an email I got after Saturday's match...
We watched your playoff game with St. Mary's and were rooting for you. Thought you had it in the first half. It would have been fun to play one last game with you.Your team always inspires our girls to bring a good game....Your athletes also have gained much respect over the years. This year we have admired how Tamara, Alex and Marci fought so hard. Tamara's run down field yesterday without her cleat was something. We pray that all your injured players will continue to heal completely....They are not only exceptional athletes but great young women. Of special note to us is Alex's sportsmanship, Marci's commitment, and Tamara's courage.
We battled through an amazing series of unexpected twists and turns, and despite all of it, found a way to extend our season beyond the league schedule. We should also take a moment to commend the exceptional run Marci made earlier on Saturday to take the Skyline cross country crown. 19:00, from wire to wire - personal best.
Reminders: Uniforms must be in before the end of this week. Mrs. Wolfe asked they NOT go to her, so I need someone to coordinate getting them and then getting them to me (at home or to me at NMHS). Can a captain take that on? I also will need a parent to volunteer to coordinate the award night - Sunday, Nov 20 is the ideal time - we could do the 13th, but if Hidden Valley is still alive (and looking at the bracket, they have the best shot of still playing to the semis) , I may not be able to disclose details of all-league selections. If you have a HARD preference, let us know in comments.
