Thursday and Friday games

Thursday games vs. Whetstone Christian Academy

We just found out that the games are going to be played in Mansfield at the Community Center, which is just a little farther drive. We apologize that we were not able to give you more notice on this.

First game, 14U boys, will be at 6 pm. The girls will follow at about 7 pm, with the 18U boys playing the final game.

The boys will meet at Kmart to leave at 4 pm. Please let us know at this e-mail if you are driving, have room for riders, and/or need a ride to the game. I will be helping Dan coordinate this. I assume the girls will be coordinating their rides as they have been all season (it has been nice not to have to be involved!).

end of year tournament

I just received the following information about the Ozark Association of Christian Schools year-end varsity tournament. There will be 8 girls teams and 8 boys teams participating in the tournament. Just for some history, this conference started last year with 5 schools who are mostly in the southern part of the state and in Arkansas. This year, they added a northern part, which includes us, Lebanon, Camdenton, Whetstone and Wellspring(Houston).

After Feb 22nd, teams will be seeded and first round of games will be played on Friday, March 5th in either Mansfield or West Plains.

Then the rest of the tournament will be played Saturday, March 6th in Harrison, Arkansas, where they have access to two gyms, making it possible to run both the girls and boys tournaments simultaneously. The coordinator assured me that they would schedule the games such that those of us who have a longer drive would be later in the day. I pointed out that with a game on Friday night in Mansfield or West Plains, it may not make sense for us to drive home anyway...

Since there is no longer a state or regional tournament being held nearby (it was in Lebanon for many years), this is our best opportunity for a tournament to end our season. However, we understand that participating in this tournament will mean a significant amount of driving and additional expenses that some families may not have anticipated. It is 200 miles from Rolla to Harrison, Arkansas, via West Plains or Mansfield, and 180 back (through Springfield, which would be the fastest way). We also understand that there are some significant conflicts for some of you this weekend.

So, we're asking for your input before we make a final decision. Please give us and/or your coach input as to how you feel about participating in this tournament. (only Varsity level players are involved).

Re: missing items after games last night

I have both items listed and a few more besides. There were two light jackets left, a ninja turtle toy and a basketball. We thought the ball might belong to the other team and since we'll see them next week, if it is theirs we can return it. (Dawn, can you contact them and ask if they were missing one?) The ball has no name written on it so if you think it is yours you will have to provide identifying information to verify it. Anyone who can describe the jackets can also claim them.

Call me if you think any of these items belong to you.

Thanks again to everyone who pitched in last night. It was great to see people functioning in so many different roles!

A couple of items were left behind; if anyone happened to pick them up, please let the appropriate people know:

1) the Williams family lost a teal blue Optimist basketball shirt
2) I (Dawn Hall) left a black sweater in the bleachers near the door.

Thanks for any help in this matter!
