Thursday 17th: Update

Sorry that I missed the (almost) practice tonight. Also sorry that we didn't get a chance to keep up our momentum in practicing and hitting.

Just a few notes for everyone:

1. Our game Monday will probably be pushed back to late October. The tests scheduled in school for the kids next week have parents of the Chargers worried and they may not be there. So, instead of taking a forfeit, I would rather get the game in and play. This benefits us all; even though we really wanted to get this first game under our belt. More on that by the time we get together Saturday, so check the website.

2. We REALLY need to prepare for our first game. We were ready for Monday's rain-out game, but having a "walk-thru" on Saturday, no game on Monday and no practice today have put us behind again. Our game last year that we lost looked JUST LIKE THIS. So, Saturday will be really important to prepare us for what looks to be our first game on Tuesday against a division team (Terry Titans - Blue). We will work hard on Saturday to get ready, but the line will be the emphasis of the practice.

NO TEAM wins without a good line. The Colt line will be the thing that wins games for us. So, we will really be working hard with you guys.

3. If you haven't paid the $ for the year, please remember to do so by Saturday. AND, if you need to supply me with a birth certificate (see the posts below), please do so by Saturday. The team we play on Tuesday may very well require one before we even kick off.

Remember: you are the best team in the league. You have a better offensive plan, you have a role to play on a defense that will win you LOTS of games, and you can HIT and PLAY extremely well. But, you have to do this during our game. Don't forget that. Be ready to think and execute, OK?

Check the website by Saturday for an update. See you guys then!
