 2.      I had mentioned a photography company a couple of weeks ago, but was never able to connect with them.  However, we had a mom from our team last year that took great action photos come out this past weekend to do photos of Brett.  She did a terrific job, I received the photo disc today (from Saturday’s game) and prices are VERY reasonable.  I have a TON of pictures and they are all really good, so I told her I would be happy to pass along her contact information.  Also, she is available for any sport – football, baseball, basketball, martial arts, etc based on her schedule, so please feel free to contact her if you would like action photos of your athlete.  I have attached just a couple of the photos she took, but if you’d like more samples, let me know.  Here is Donna’s contact information:

3.      Had several parents ask about end of the year party.  I am awaiting the bowl game location and schedule for November 5-6.  As soon as I have that, we can look at options for celebrating the end of the season.  I should have that later this week, so will send out the information as soon as I have it.  However, in the meantime, be thinking about some options – cookout/picnic, pizza party, etc – and let me know your ideas!

 

Thanks and have a great Tuesday!

JV Vikings News & Updates – Week of 9/12 

Please see below for news and notes for this week’s practices, game and other information.

1.       Practices this week will be Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 6:15 pm – 8:00 pm.  Please have your athletes to practice on time to ensure they are able to participate in the warm-ups.

 

2.       Saturday 9/17 is game day vs. the Colony Cougars at 10:00 am on Thomas Field (we will be the Visitors).  Please have your athletes meet the coaches in the north end zone of Thomas Field at 9:00 am.  A reminder that the sideline is for coaches and players only and that all players will meet with coaches immediately following the game.  This week’s CYFL Saturday Celebrations series will be at Schlotzsky’s on Park & Midway.  Thanks to all of you who went to Chicken Express on Saturday – CYFL had a great turn-out!

3.       Coach Craig is collecting $4.50 per player for the purple Viking helmet decals per his announcement post-game Saturday.

4.       Gold game socks are available for $3/player, but we would really need everyone to participate so that we are consistent in uniform.  If you are willing to participate in this, please let me know by Monday evening so that I can let Coach Powers know if we will need to collect for this.

5.       I have had several requests for additional t-shirt orders.  We have a 12 shirt minimum to get front/back printed t-shirts, but based on feedback, I believe we may have that.  Please let me know no later than Tuesday night if you need additional t-shirts and in what size so that I can put together the 2nd order.

6.       Homecoming is coming up Saturday, October 1st.  In the past, we have put together “spirit bags” for our athletes that included different goodies such as bags, hats, candy, pencils, etc.  Please let me know if you would prefer to purchase something to put in the bags or if you want me to collect an amount from everyone to get goodies.  We also have had a picnic after our game to celebrate; however, we have a 5:30 pm game that day.  Do we want to have a picnic on a different day or do something earlier in the day?

7.       Wes and Georgia Rutherford have graciously agreed to do our team and individual photos again this year!  If you’ve purchased from them in the past, you’ve seen how great these turn out, so we are very grateful for their willingness to do this.  When I have a date for this, I will let you know so that your athlete is ready.

 

We had a rough outing this past Saturday, but we are ready to go this week and show our Viking Pride!   If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.  Have a great week!
