Whole Week Off!

Our last game was Tuesday, December 6. Everyone had a chance to play several minutes and we got back on track with some of our work. We don't play again until we go to Puerto Rico for our team trip during the semester break. We have two great opponents to play in the Puerto Rico Classic, Alvernia College and Franklin and Marshall College. Both teams are from Pennsylvania. This week we have just been maintaining. Classes have last minute work that needs to be done as well as you know most kids--they wait until the last minute to finish everything. Today was the last day of classes. Next week will be exams. It will be difficult to get much done next week as our players stress over their exams, probably stay up too late studying, and just worry about getting everything studied for each class. We'll try to get them some study breaks so we can keep a little fresh and be ready to play on Dec. 18. The only good thing is that most schools will be in exams as well--so the playing field may be a little more level. The team is very excited about going to Puerto Rico. It will be a wonderful place--about 83 degrees this time of the year--that sure sounds good to us all. We have some adventures planned and are looking forward to having a break from school.
