Marauders Prep For Weekend Games

Here are a number of updates pertaining to the upcoming games this Friday and Saturday, and our preparations for them.  This applies to all four teams.

On Thursday, the Varsity players who were not tested last year should report to the Training Room after school and meet with Trainer Jeni Frechette and go to the computer lab for baseline concussion testing.  This will be mostly juniors, sophs and Seth.  If you have had it done recently, check in with Jeni to confirm that.

The weather forecast tomorrow suggests that there will be a front moving through, with rain in the afternoon.  Check the blog (and also the soccer bulletin board, for those at school with no blog access) for updates.  The bulletin board is also updated daily.  It appears as though the rain may be over in time to get practices in. The Varsity is scheduled to go at 5:00, and we will definitely plan on training after the rain passes.  Check in for other team updates.

The Reserves dressing for Friday's game at Newport know who they are.  In addition to the group that dressed for the Monday game  (and because some of them will be absent), we will also dress Tenzin, Angus, Liam  and Sam.  This group will also dress for that Saturday game, along with Jonathan.  Please contact your 7th period teachers in advance to tell them you will be leaving class Friday at 2:30 sharp.  We will be contacting parents by e-mail to ask for help with snacks for the bus trips on Friday and Saturday.  Ann Kynor has graciously volunteered to be the Team Parent for the Reserves.  If you are willing to help with snacks and drinks, feel free to contact her at:  kynorfamily@me.com.
Friday's bus will leave at 2:30 and return no later than 7:30.  Just in time for football!  The bus will leave at 8:30 a.m. Saturday for the 11:00 game at Souhegan.

The freshman team will host Exeter at 11:00 Saturday at the Dresden Fields in Norwich  (The Pasture).  They should be at the field no later than 10:15.  (We are tentatively adding a Freshman home game against Cardigan next Wednesday).

The Varsity and JV will leave for the games at Nashua South at 11:30.  Game time for both teams is 2:30.  Players driving to the game after ACTS should have notes to the athletic office no later than Friday.

Thanks to all players and parents (and friends!) for your generous help with our "Go Orange"  food drive for the Haven.  We delivered 300 pounds of food and had $400 in donations, which will automatically be doubled by a challenge grant.  That's a wonderful boost for their good work!
