Club Training, College Visit & Girls Night Out

Ladies,
first of all, well done last night in beating GT United 2-0. It wasn't the prettiest win and I was expecting a bit of a psychological letdown after the tournament win last weekend. But the letdown didn't happen. Once again, you showed great work ethic.

Some updates...
We finally have club training scheduled for you. It will be on Monday and Tuesday of next week (April 30th and May 1st) at 7 - 8:30 PM at Progress Park. Several female players from CBU's college team will lead the training, which will be a good time.

I also have tentatively scheduled a special event for the ladies next Friday, May 4th. Kieron Heblich, a Lobos coach and also head women's coach at CBU has offered to host a college tour to the entire team next Friday afternoon after school. The tour should take no more than 90 minutes but it should give the girls important insights into college life. I want to emphasize that this is not just for girls who want to play soccer in college - I want the ladies to start thinking about greater endeavors in life, whatever they may be, and that would start with college. I will work on the logistics of carting the ladies down to CBU and back.

After the college tour would be a good night for the ladies to have a victory dinner to celebrate a fantastic season. This would take place in Collierville after the college tour and may be combined with a movie or something the girls will concoct - I will leave that to them.

On another matter, I will send you hotel information for the State tournament very shortly. Tenn Soccer is still making arrangements for the Tournament itself and I will pass those details along when I get them.

Champions

Ladies,

absolutely fantastic job this weekend. You suffered through muscle fatigue, heat and sunburn and you became champions. I was so proud and honored to be with you this weekend. I hope the hours spent in the practice field are and were worthwhile. The only thing that would have made this better is if Lexie, Sam and Kelley could have been with us on the field - but their hard work made all this possible. Good work ladies - we're proud of you!!!

Update April 8th

State Tournament Update

You ladies had a good two days so I decided you could take an early Easter break. After our win on Monday, we played a U-19 rec team on Tuesday. We won 3-1 despite playing 2 men down after Julianna got hurt. Enjoy your Thursday and the rest of Easter. We need to have a sharp practice on Monday as we have a tough game on Tuesday against MFC.

I sent off our application for the State Tournament today. All players have committed to the State Tournament - only two have issues with the final weekend but will be available for the first. Caroline Higdon, a 92 Lobos player and goalkeeper, will play for us at State (I'll pay her way). Hopefully we'll know sometime next week who we'll be up against.

Of course, this means I have to collect money from you again, but this will be the last time! $35 from each family will cover the cost of the State tournament fees. As before, please make your checks out to "Jennifer Beyer" and give them either to me or Jennifer the next time you see us.

Coach Sonny
