THE LATEST(2/1/2009)Thank you for a wonderful day yesterday... a lot of fun and excitement.  After viewing the final point (Bailey's infamous line shot) on Tony Perez's phone,  the ball clearly did not hit the antennae and was decisively in....way to go Bailey and team!!!!!

Our next practice is on Wed at PHHS (2/4) from 6:30-8:30.  I understand that the Cave Spring players have something going on at school and we will also miss Gussie... anyone else?  I'm just trying to get a practice plan going!  Let me know asap!  Thanks!

We also have practice on Fri at St John's 5-7. 

Sat's practice is at Roanoke Catholic from 7-9.  I hope to have Alan, the Middles coach from Roanoke College helping out. 

Our next tournament is a day tournament in Richmond, (2/14),  I have printed directions that I will give the girls.  If you are interested in going up the night before,  please contact Lisa Perez at tp3@cox.net as she is looking into hotel rooms.  If there is enough interest, we may be able to get a group rate.  Also, interest has been expressed in setting up a food table at Richmond with every family bringing a dish to share.  Kim Klick has volunteered to coordinate this.  Thanks to all of our parents for all of your efforts!
