"Ask me to play. I'll play. Ask me to shoot. I'll shoot. Ask me to pass. I'll pass. Ask me to steal, block out, sacrifice, lead, dominate. ANYTHING. But it's not what you ask of me. It's what I ask of myself. ~ LeBron James."

AND THAT'S A WRAP.

After approximately 90 practices and 30 games, the season has come to an end. As a coach, I have to say that this was my most rewarding coaching experience. We had 12 boys committed to learning, and giving their all for the entire season. They were reliable, focused and willing to give 100% for the team. Thank you boys! For those trying out for U13 / U14 Sting teams or for provincial U15 squads, best of luck to you all.

On Thursday, we (those who aren't in the sunny South) will be running the Beast again, this time for speed, and an opportunity to win $12,000 for SIS athletics. We will be doing this right after school.

In the next few weeks, we will be getting together once more for an end of season dinner and a kids vs parents/coaches game. I will be in touch.

Thanks again for all your support this season.

PRACTICE

We will practice at Slemon Park from 4:30 - 5:45 today. No need to send $$, the school is paying for this session. Danny and I will be at the school to take players out at 4:15.

Thanks,

Scott

NO GAMES TODAY

UPDATE: Everything is bumped ahead another day (Thursday and Friday). Trevor is also looking at arranging a practice space for us. I will post details when I have them.

Since the Westisle family of schools has been closed for another day today, I expect that our games will be bumped again until tomorrow. As soon as I hear more, I will post it here.

Schedule changes

Because of the storm closure of Callaghan and Hernewood schools today, the AA provincials have been pushed back one day. Now the same game schedule will hold for Wednesday / Thursday.

I am trying to arrange for a practice this evening; stay tuned...

Thanks ,
Scott
