Morning Practice / Team Captains

Team, starting this week. We will be having morning practices at 5:45 AM Tuesday - Thursday. This is a great way to loosen your legs with a fun 25 minute group run and get your mind going for school. We will meet in the roundabout back by the field house/baseball field.

Also, congratulation to our new team captains. There are many great leaders on our team, so for these to receive the vast majority of votes says something about them.

Girls: Ellie Warner, Madison Bunker
Boys: Chance Werner, Garrett Christensen

We will be doing a captains meeting this week to discuss different things I need for you to focus on.

Thanks,

Andy
