Tonight MS&T Game

I know this is terribly last minute, but for any of you who are able to get out of your driveways, and were looking for something to do tonight (since your games were cancelled), the MS&T basketball teams are playing their last home games tonight. The ladies play at 5:30 and the guys after that at 7:30, both games at Gale Bullman Multi-Purpose Building.

Pictures, and End of the Year

Thank you all for being so prompt about pictures yesterday! We were able to get everyone done with plenty of time to spare, and I think the photographer was very pleased. As of now, the plan is that he will get the pictures to us (the Halls) sometime in the next 1.5 to 2 weeks, and then we will be responsible for passing them on to all those of you who ordered them.

Right now, it looks like Friday, March 13th is going to be our end-of-the-year recognition night. We are hoping to get the Junior High facility, and have the use of the gym and cafeteria there. Our tentative schedule will be as follows:

6-6:30 JH Boys vs. Dads/Older Brothers Game
6:30-7:15  Potluck Dinner and Fellowship Time
7:15 - 8  Player and Coaches Recognition
8 - 8:30 Girls vs. Moms/Older Sisters Game
8:30 - 9:30 Varsity Boys vs. Dads

For the potluck, RHAA will provide paper goods and drinks. Please e-mail me as to whether you family is able to come, and a rough estimate of how many people you will have coming.

Remember, uniforms need to be turned in at this date, if you haven't already. Girls and Varsity Boys - please don't wear your uniform for the scrimmage - we will plan to use the gold practice jerseys (for the girls) and the older jerseys that Hickles have (for the guys). JH Boys - please bring your uniform, if you still have it, and we may or may not use them for the games in the evening. If we do use them, our family will just take them home and take care of washing them. Also, we'll hand out the pictures (if we have them in by then).

As always, ask if you have any questions! I hope that everyone can make this date - it's always a great wrap-up to the season, and a wonderful chance to fellowship with other families.

Tomorrow's Games

Varsity and JH Boys, and Gold Girls --

Well, inevitably, we have had a schedule change since that supposed "final" e-mail. :)

Because of some facility issues on the Lebanon side of things, our games tomorrow (Monday, Feb. 23rd) are going to be played at Camden Christian School, IN Camdenton (same location as Thursday night - Varsity Guys, it's the same place we usually play Camdenton, check website for directions). We will still be playing against the Lebanon Rockets. Our games will be played at the following times (notice time changes, 30 minutes later) --
6:00 pm - JH Boys
7:00 pm - GOLD Girls
8:15 pm - Varsity Boys

Camdenton is a little further than Lebanon (1:15 rather than 1:00), but the games have been moved back 30 minutes, so here are departure times --
Halls (and any JH Boys families) leaving Rolla from Kroger at 4:15 pm.
Girls need to leave by 5:15
Varsity Guys by 6:30

Please reply to this so that we know you got the message! Also, let us know your driving plans.

Thanks in advance for being flexible, and sorry if this causes any problems for you.

JH Boys and Girls -- more about tonight's game

Just want to let you know I made some changes to the directions on the website.

• #1 --The church you are looking for is Bible Baptist Church -- it seems like it used to be the only church along there, but the last few times we've gone, we really have to search for it... the school sign in very little, so hopefully knowing the church name will help.

• There is more than one way to get to Camdenton, and the directions we posted last night may have confused some of you, because I don't think it is the "usual" route. I decided to try it last year after we had kids get carsick on the usual route, and I found that it was just as fast, probably because you stay on the Interstate longer, and don't have long sections of hilly, windy roads. So that is the way we usually go now. But feel free to go the other "alternate" way if you prefer -- directions to both are now on the website...

Looking forward to seeing you all there!
Dawn

Correction

Coach Applegate has requested that both the Blue and Gold teams come dressed to play tomorrow night. There is still only one game, but it is a younger team, so we anticipate being able to play all of you. So, if you are able, all of you girls should plan to come! Sorry for any confusion on this!

Becky

Basketball Update (hopefully the final one!)

Tomorrow (Thursday, Feb. 19th) - GOLD Game in Camdenton, 6:00 pm

• Halls are leaving at 4 pm from Kroger. We will have several seats. Please let us know what your travel plans are - 1. if you need a ride, 2. if you are driving and have extra seats, 3. if your family would like to meet at Kroger, but will not have extra seats, or 4. if your family is driving by themselves. 
• Directions on website

Friday, Feb. 20th *CHANGE* - BLUE Game vs. Springfield 14U, 7:00 pm

• This has been changed to a Blue team game, because we felt that the Blue team against their 14U team (the team from the tournament) would be a more competitive game than our Gold team playing the 16U team.
  
• The game will be played at Rolla Junior High, starting as soon as we can after the JH boys' game. Arrive around 6:30.

Monday, Feb. 23rd - GOLD Game in Lebanon, 6:30 pm

• Halls will be leaving from Kroger at 4:00 pm for the JH boys' game. We recommend that you leave by 5:00 pm for your game.
• Please let us know what your travel plans are - 

1. if you need a ride
2. if you are driving at 5 pm and have extra seats,
3. if your family would like to meet at Kroger, but will not have extra seats,
 4. if your family is driving by themselves. .

• The game will be played at the Cowan Civic Center, directions are posted on the website (it's the same location the JH tournament was at).

Tuesday, Feb. 24th - Practice at Redeemer Lutheran Gym, 7 - 9pm

 
Thursday, Feb. 26th - Pictures and BLUE Game vs. Houston Warriors, 6 pm

• PICTURE DAY! We will be having them taken directly before the game (info on that below).

Those of you who are interested in an individual picture, please arrive at 4:45 pm, dressed in your uniform. If you are not interested in an individual shot, then please arrive at 5:15 pm, in your uniform, for the team photo. Remember, for a team and individual, the price is $12.00. Attached is an order form with pricing on additional prints.
• The BLUE game will be at 6 pm, Rolla Junior High. Please plan to go over there as soon as we are finished with the team photo.
  

Saturday, Feb. 28th - GOLD Game in Fulton, 3:00 pm

• The Halls will be leaving Rolla from OAT Theatre at 12:45. Please let us know ASAP if you would like a ride from us at this time. Otherwise, please let us know what your travel plans are.

We will also plan to have an end-of-the-year recognition pot-luck/parent vs. kid game (? depending on what the parents are up for. . .) sometime early in March. Right now, the dates we are looking at are:
Sunday afternoon or evening, March 8th
Friday night, March 13th
Sunday afternoon or evening, March 15th

Please let us know if you have known conflicts for any of these dates! We will keep you posted on what we decide.

Thanks, Becky

RE: Tuesday night games

I will be taking Emily.  My Grandmother lives in Houston, so we will be visiting her before or after.  We would be willing to take up to 5 with us as long as they wouldn’t mind either going a little earlier, or waiting to return a little later.  (My Grandma is in the nursing home, and we would only stay about 30 min.)

Boy, do I (and Ryan) remember that carpet!!!!!

Thanks again, we'll drive straight from our home south of Salem.  It's less than 40 miles to Houston, so it is one of our shorter drives -- about 43-44 miles.  We'll plan to arrive during the girls game.  Do we know what color they'll wear?  Should we bring practice whites?

Tuesday night games vs. Houston Wellspring

• Girls Blue Team at 6 pm
• Boys at 7:15 pm

Games will be held at Faith Fellowship Church (the same place as last year, for those who went). It is a carpeted gym, so we highly recommend knee pads if you have them to wear -- several of our players ended up with some pretty bad rug burns last year.

To carpool, meet at the Rolla Kmart Parking Lot -- girls meet at 4:30 pm/ guys at 5:30 pm.

• Girls: Only Abby and Becky are going from the Hall family, but our 12 psgr van is available to go, if an adult will drive it. Otherwise, our daughters will need a ride with someone else.
• Guys: The Hickles have 7 seats available in their van

To ease our minds that everyone is covered, please let us know what your plans are for getting to the games. Thanks!

Directions below -- (if you go to Google Maps directly, you'll need to adjust the final step --the church is actually 5 miles out of town on Highway 17)  Basically, south on 63 into Houston, then turn right on Highway 17, go 5 miles west.

From Kmart

 

1.	Head south on S Bishop Ave/US-63 Continue to follow US-63		25.3 mi
2.	Continue on MO-63		0.3 mi
3.	Continue on US-63		3.1 mi
4.	Continue on MO-63		15.7 mi
5.	Continue on N Sam Houston Blvd/US-63 Continue to follow N Sam Houston Blvd		2.2 mi
6.	Turn right at MO-17/W Summit Ave		5.2mi

pictures

After discussion with the photographer, and weighing a bunch of different issues, including knowing people are gone Saturday, and it is awfully late notice to try to do pictures this weekend, I have decided to schedule pictures at the end of the season, on Thursday, Feb 26th. More info to come on exact timing and location of pictures. We have a blue team girls game and varsity boys game that night, and possibly a junior high scrimmage, so hopefully this won't mean an extra trip for anyone...

Let us know if you know right now that this will not work for you, and we'll see what we can do!

remaining Feb Schedule

Hi ladies,
Below you will find the remaining schedule for Feb. We have a full 2 1/2 weeks. Changes/clarification of previously published schedules are noted with a **. The Google calendar should reflect all of these changes.

As always, be in contact with coaches about games you may need to miss for various reasons, so they can plan accordingly -- if they know several players will be missing at a game, they can ask girls from the other team to fill in.

  Fri, 2/13     6-8pm         Practice @ RJH
  Sat 2/14     Home Games vs. St. Louis  @ RJH
                    1:30 pm       Blue Team vs. Patriettes Jr Hi
                     3:45 pm      Gold Team vs. Patriettes Varsity B

  Thur 2/19    6:00 pm      Gold & Blue Teams @ Camdenton (check with coaches)
**Fri  2/20      7:00 pm      Blue Team Home Game Vs. SWMO Eagles @ RJH                            
**Mon2/23     6:30 pm      Gold Team Game @ Lebanon (rescheduled from weather cancellation)
  Tues 2/24    7 - 9 pm      Practice at Wyman Elementary

                               (rescheduled from weather cancellation)
  Sat 2/28     TBD             Gold Team Game @ Fulton (we've requested late afternoon/evening games)

Picture schedule addressed in a separate email...

survey

Ladies:
I'm trying to set up a picture schedule that will work for everyone, and I know that at least one of the girls will be gone from this Sunday to almost the end of the season...but I have no idea who else might have other conflicts...

So, I'm looking at two possibilities to get it done right away, neither of which is perfect...

• Friday night, at the end of practice (7:30 pm) or
  
• Saturday, between the two girls games or after the second girls game (due to theatre rehearsal conflicts, before the games won't work)

Any preferences or other conflicts (like, I won't be there on Friday night or on Saturday)?

Or, do you think we should just wait until the end of the season (Feb 26th probably)

Thanks
Let me know ASAP

game tonight

Tonight's games at Rolla Junior High.

We will start as soon after 6 pm as we can get everything ready. I'm pretty sure the school teams will be practicing until 5:30 pm, so I don't know what time we will actually be able to get into the gym. Please lay low until it appears the building is pretty much cleared out -- they really don't want us to overlap the school teams, which is why we aren't supposed to start using the facility until 6:00 pm

Another email is coming with updates for the rest of the month. We have several schedule adjustments and clarifications to make.

Pictures coordinator needed

It appears that we have enough interest to schedule pictures...I'll talk to the photographer about possibilities. I'm going to propose 2 different dates; Thursday Feb 12 for the boys (after Junior High practice and before Varsity practice), and Friday, Feb 13 for the girls, right at the start of practice.

Becky suggested we solicit a volunteer(s) to coordinate this project. We will set the date, but the the volunteer(s) would:

• distribute order forms to all players ahead of time
• attend the picture session, collect forms and payment
  
• arrange with photographer to pickup photos when ready
• distribute finished pictures to players
  

It probably would work best to have one person for the boys and one for the girls, unless a parent of both wants to do it all.

Please let us know if you can help in this way, and we'll pass along all the necessary information.

directions to Truman Elementary School

Truman is on the north end of Rolla on 18th Street. There are many ways to get there, but here is one:

Take 10th street east from Highway 63 (or west from Forum). At the intersection of 10th and Holloway, go north. This will take you right by the Centre. Keep going north until Holloway comes to a "T" at 18th street. Turn right, and you will see the school on your left. I'm not sure where the gym is -- it should be pretty easy to figure out, though.

Team/individual pictures?

Taking a quick survey to find out how many players/families are interested in buying professional team and individual pictures for basketball.
Basic cost is $12 for an 8x10 team photo and a 5x7 individual photo in a nice folder. Additional pictures, including "trading cards" can also be purchased.
We'll only schedule pictures if enough people are interested, but we'd like everyone to be there even if you aren't planning on buying pictures. We will definitely try to find a time to schedule doesn't involve another trip to town!

Please respond to this email by Monday if you are interested.

Dawn

missing shorts

Jenny Williams is missing her uniform shorts. She wore them at the game on Saturday, and then changed out of them after the game. Did anyone come up with an extra pair of shorts in their bag or find a pair in their car? Please let her know if you did.
Thanks.

rest of week's schedule

My apologies, we had not fully communicated with coaches, and they weren't sure what to tell the girls on Tuesday night.

Tomorrow night, Thursday, is NOT a practice. The Rolla 7th grade girls SIR team is hosting our GOLD team for an informal scrimmage at Truman Elementary school. Parents and others are welcome to come watch, but only the GOLD team will be playing.
(We are working on getting a scrimmage set up with the other SIR team for the blue team)

Friday night is a practice for everyone, at the Middle School, from 7 - 9 pm.

practice tonight at Wyman Elementary

Practice tonight is scheduled at Wyman Elementary, from 7 - 9 pm.

Note the time and place, different from normal (is there a normal?)
