travel plans tonight

If we have not heard from you, please let us know your travel plans for the game tonight.

We have several players who need rides, and at this point, don't have enough seatbelts for everyone at the time they need to go.

We (the Halls) had been planning to go as a family, but if need be, we can leave some home or take two cars --- but before we do that, we need to hear if anyone else has a vehicle going with space for riders, and what time you are leaving. It would also help to know if you are planning to stay for all 3 games.

Thanks for responding as soon as you are able, even if you aren't sure of your plans!

Gameday T-shirts

Well, we are now completed our first year experiment of hosting "tournaments" here in Rolla. A big thank you to all of you who helped in some way, especially today, since you pitched in with no prior notice :)

The St. Louis Patriettes and the SWMO Lady Eagles were here today, and from the little that I was able to see, it looked like we had 3 pretty good games. We lost to both teams, but we gave both of them a good game.

We'd welcome any input you may have on doing these events again next year, positive or negative. We want to learn from this experience and do better next year. We do know that both the St. Louis and Springfield teams appreciated the opportunity and are likely to come again if we host next year.

One thing that worked out pretty well was our t-shirts -- we purposely designed them so we could use the same shirt for both the boys and the girls, and ordered plenty extra for the boys tournament. Not many extra were sold, so we had 36 left over, and with only 2 teams coming today, decided to wait to order any more t-shirts. We came out pretty close to having just enough -- we were able to give the opposing team players shirts that worked for them, and were just a few short to give our girls.

I will be ordering shirts on Monday for those players who did not get them. Any parents or siblings who are interested in a gameday shirt, we will sell them to you at our cost, which will be $8 or so.. We also have 5 youth 10-12 shirts we will sell at the same cost. (the logo is attached if you want to see it)

Please let me know what size shirt you need, girls who didn't get one, and anyone else who wants to buy one, send me the size you want.

rides tonight

If you haven't already let us know your plans for tonight, please do so ASAP. Some of the people who usually drive are not able to drive tonight, and we want to be sure everyone is accounted for (just for our peace of mind, girls let us know your plans, too.)

Thanks.

Corrected directions to Mansfield, other thoughts on driving

I left an important word (right) off in the previous email -- please use these directions:

Directions to Mansfield Community Center

205 North Missouri Avenue

Mansfield, MO

 

South of Rolla on US-63 to Cabool (62.3 miles)

When you reach Cabool, take US-60 Business West for 3 miles

Then continue on US-60 for 25 miles to Mansfield

Turn left at US 60- Business West in Mansfield

Take the first right onto W. Jennifer Street

Turn left at North Lincoln St.

Take the first right onto Ohio Street

Take the 2^nd left onto North Missouri Avenue. The Community Center will be on the right.

Additional thoughts:

Google Maps actually suggests a route taking I-44 to Lebanon and then south on Mo-5. We have heard that 5 is very windy and dangerous, and feel that US 63 is a better alternative for most of us. Those of you who live north of the interstate may want to consider that route.

Also, those of you who live in Salem and other areas south of Rolla should try to carpool without coming to Rolla. Perhaps we could set up a meeting place in Licking. If we can help coordinate any arrangements, let us know.
