LFHS v Arlington Stallions 4/17/08

Guys

The game against the Arlington Stallions for 4/17 IS ON!! It's go time.

We will be playing down there in Schaumburg on their pitch as a favor to them. I'll explain it fully when I see you guys at practice.

We will be travelling to Schaumburg by bus. Yes, by bus. I have rented a yellow bus for the trip. PLEASE be at the Lake Forest High School - West Campus parking lot NO LATER than 3:30. We will be leaving by 3:45 pm. We will be parking our cars in the back lot. Tell your parents (if they need to know) that we will be returning by 7:30 pm after the game.

Donations for the bus ride will be accepted (and appreciated). If you have a friend, family member, teacher, or spectator who wants to come along for the game, we do have a few extra seats available on the bus.

Practice on Monday (4/14) will be at the Pavlick's house, starting at 4:45. I will not be at this Monday practice as I have a family member who is undergoing serious surgery on Monday out of town, and will not be back in town in time.

For practice this week, we will be keeping the scrimmage to a minimum, and will be working on technical aspects of our game, signals, lineouts, scrums, and ghost rugby.

I will be picking up the jerseys on Tuesday after scchool. Yay!

Call me if you have questions. Have a great weekend guys.

Guys

The game is ON! We are playing Senn HS on Wed. 4/9 in Schaumburg at the Northwest Woodsman RFC pitch. (Directions to follow) We are planning on a 5:30 kickoff. I'll be talking more about the game to day at practice.

Today's practice will be held at 1451 Harlan Ln., Lake Forest. (Harlan Ln. runs off of Old Elm Rd., just west of Ridge. Old Elm Rd. west from Ridge, and turn South on Harlan Ln.) We'll begin at 4:45.

For those of you who came and watched the Lions lose to the Griffins (30-17) on Sat., was that a great game or what? I believe the Lions were favored to win.

Information update

Guys

The jerseys are being stitched and sewed as you sit and read this entry! I can tell you that they look great. The socks and shorts are in, and I will be picking them up at the same time as the jerseys. The jerseys should be finished late this week, and shipped on Sat. This means they will be delivered early next week in time for our first game!

The t-shirts will be ready on Tuesday (4/8). I will be picking them up and handing them out at practice next week. They also look great. I have included the logo and picture for you to view.

Guys, thanks for being patient with our terrible practice schedule. The weather has worked against us, and the pitch should be good to practice on today. The first game is only days away!
