*The varsity match at home against Clover is very tentative. I am trying to get Indian Land to come to us on Wednesday night. Clover needs to play an additional match if they lose to Nation Ford and are tied for 1st place. I have offered to have them over to play us if we only have 1 match next week. Therefore, this match will only be played if Clover loses to Nation Ford and we are unable to schedule a home match with Indian Land. The York match Monday may very well be our final regular season match.

I told the girls at practice Thursday that the York match will be our final match as a whole team. However, I would very much like for all players to travel to our playoff matches. The strength we have in numbers could be the difference in cheering us on to victory in the playoffs. I certainly hope that all can come.

For the York match, we are still having a cookout afterwards. Originally, we were going to bring individual desserts. Since it is senior night, I am picking up cake to bring over for both teams. If each girl can just bring $3 each, this will cover all the costs for the cookout on our end.

I believe the Faulkner's have snacks for York & the Edwards were next up on the snack list. The Faulkner's can bring sport drinks & a very light snack on Monday since we are doing the cookout after. The Edwards will have either the Indian Land/Clover match or the playoff first round, whichever happens first. We'll draw straws for the playoffs after that.

Go Trojans!
