There are all sorts of updates and new information herein. Please read carefully, to the bottom!
The Varsity and JV boys will host Concord Wednesday at HHS. (Varsity on the turf, JV on the grass). This is late and not well-publicized, but I would love to have every player bring one non-perishable food item for the Haven. We'll have a collection bin at the top of the turf field driveway, in the chocolate milk location. Small start, but we can build on this.
The Varsity and JV will leave for the Exeter game at 1:05 Friday, missing periods 6 and 7. Players, you MUST contact your teachers tomorrow or Thursday to inform then, and see what work you need to make up. Please be proactive about this. If you want to ride home with your parents after the game, you must give a signed note to the athletic office on the day of the game, have it signed there, and give it to your coach. No note, no ride home. The Exeter kickoff time is now 4:00, not 4:30.
The Freshmen will take their team photo tomorrow after school. Please bring your white home uniforms to school, change after school, and meet on the turf field by 2:20. You can wear your white uniforms to practice, and then wear gold on Thursday, and white again on Friday. You can take the regular practice but to the game on Friday at the Rt. 5 Field.
The Freshmen play Saturday at Manchester Central. The game will be a Livingston Park on the Daniel Webster Highway in Manchester, 3/4 mile south of Exit #9 off 93. Take exit 9 for Rt. 3, go straight through the light, and Livingston Park is on the right. The game is at 10:00. The bus will leave at 7:45 sharp. There will be snacks and drinks for after the game (eat a hearty breakfast). After the game, the team will have a chance to go across the street for ice cream at The Puritan. Their home-made ice cream is the best in the state. Better than Walpole. We recommend the flavor called "Mint Condition". Players should bring $5 for ice cream, and DON'T order a Large cone.
Daniel, Sam and Caleb may order Medium.
The Reserve numbers are excellent. We had a modest 29 today, with several excused absences. We gave out practice jerseys today, and still have several more to hand out tomorrow. We will take the team photo on Thursday. Please wear your practice jersey Thursday, and wear white socks and shorts if you have them. We have some for those who don't.
All players, please continue to work on your hydration during the day, and during and after practice. You should have enough water (or 50-50 water/energy drink) to drink 10-12 ounces immediately after practice. You should then have a high-energy snack with some protein an hour afterwards.
Chocolate milk is great for this. So is ice cream from the Puritan. You should also investigate those Gatorade Protein Whey bars, of a Clif bar.
