JV Practice Tuesday at Lindbergh

Tuesday May 5th we have practice at Lindbergh # 10 (Next to the climbing wall) instead of our normal location.   

Also our Thursday game against Cooper is being re-scheduled to the following week.  So there will not be a game this Thursday.  

Note from Madison host family

We received the following from the JV Host family and Susan asked that I share it with all the players who stayed at her home. (I love receiving notes like this. Way to go, Hurt!)

Thank you for the gifts we really appreciate them. It was a pleasure to have your kids. I am just sorry the weather did not cooperate. Colin will be wearing the Hopkins cap at Granite City Tournament this weekend as it looks like it could be sunny! We found one blue and white under armor shirt. Gavin our senior will have it at the Hopkins Ultimate tournament next weekend.

Hope to see your guys next year,

possess tobacco; or, (3) use or consume, have in possession, buy, sell, or giveaway any
other controlled substance.
It is not a violation for a student to be in possession of a controlled substance
specifically prescribed for the student’s own use by her/his doctor.
Penalty
1. First Violation: After confirmation of the first violation, the student shall lose
eligibility for two (2) consecutive weeks of participation in all Hopkins Ultimate

Here is a note from the Orono captain about where on campus our game is going to be played:

The field that we will be playing at is located just off Old Crystal Bay Road, when you take a right of Highway 12, you take your first left. and you should have a set of Tennis Courts on your left, and a school on your right, keep going through the roadway, and the field with the lighting on the left is the field that we will be playing at.
Unless our turf football field opens up. But for now, that's the field we will be playing at.

Please plan on being at Orono HS at 5:30 PM to warm up.

Questions? Let me know.

Mudbath Aftermath

It was very disappointing to have the Madison Mudbath canceled beneath us this weekend. We were all quite ready for a big weekend of Ultimate play. I appreciate everyone's flexibility in adjusting and regrouping.

I had a question about refunds and I thought others may have the same question. The $35 paid by each player covered our team registration fees, coaches' travel and host gifts, and I'm afraid we spent all that despite the rain. The Mudbath web site has the following disclaimer::

As with all outdoor sporting events, the MadisonMudBath can be canceled or altered due to weather. The tournament is held on the athletic fields used by all Memorial high school teams during the spring and cannot be permanently damaged. If this occurs we will be unable to provide refunds.

Unfortunately, that means we have no refunds.

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

Hey guys,

Way to work this weekend and bring Hopkins its first Paideia cup ever. It truly is a moment to remember.

But, as many of you know, I was pretty sick on Sunday. I went to the doctor and my strep test came back positive. Please be on the look out as we were in confined spaces this weekend.

Hopefully I didn't infect anyone. Let me know if you have any questions.

Congrats once again, this is only the beginning,

Shaps
