Middle School Jamboree — Saturday 1/12

1 Comment

This Saturday will be a Middle School Jamboree. The tournament is for wrestlers in grades 6th, 7th, & 8th only.

It will be held at Maple Shade High School.

Check-in time is 8:15AM.

Here are a few things to keep in mind:

  • The goal is for every wrestler to get a minimum of 3 matches.
  • Wrestlers will not be separated by age. This means a 6th grader could possibly be matched up against an 8th grader.
  • The tournament director will attempt to separate boys and girls when possible, but this entirely depends on the number of boys and girls who attend this event.

HERE is the roster for this event. If your wrestler should be on this list but isn’t, or if he/she is on the list but shouldn’t be, let us know immediately.

We need to know ASAP if your wrestler cannot attend. This will be a huge event with middle schoolers from the entire league, so advanced notice is essential to ensure things run smoothly.

ALL PRACTICES CANCELLED THURS 2/8

Leave a comment

I’m sure you’ve all heard by now, but just in case you haven’t – school is closed tomorrow, Thursday 2/8. The administration decided to close the school “due to the highly anticipated absentee rate because of the Super Bowl parade.” Therefore, all athletic events and practices are cancelled tomorrow.

We’re also giving the kids off on Friday. So, enjoy the time off! If you’re headed to Philly for the parade, have fun and be safe.

One more thing, the middle school jamboree that was originally scheduled for Sunday has been cancelled as well. The tot tournament this Saturday is still a go! So, we’ll see all the little tykes this weekend. Everyone else, see you on Monday!

 

THIS WEEKEND’S MATCH HAS BEEN MOVED FROM SAT 1/27 TO SUN 1/28

Leave a comment

Originally, this weekend’s match was scheduled for Saturday the 27th at Moorestown High School. Unfortunately, unforeseen circumstances made Moorestown unable to host the match.

We have since rescheduled this weekend’s match for Sunday the 28th at Eastern Regional High School. However, we’re still waiting to hear back for final confirmation of start times.

Coaches will let the parents and wrestlers know as soon as we have that information. Keep checking back here and on the calendar for updates. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, but we’re looking forward to a great weekend!

TODAY’S LESSON

Leave a comment

Rough start today, but it’s the growing pains that we go through each year. If we keep working hard every day, some of these matches we lose by a couple points will turn into wins, and the one sided losses will turn into competitive matches.

We have a good thing going. Our HS team won the conference last year, we have over 40 kids wrestling with us on the Middle School team, and we have a great coaching staff from HS down to the tots. Don’t get discouraged if you had a rough day today. We will get better.

For middle school, practice tomorrow through Weds. Match on Thursday. Off Friday through Monday, and Tuesday is Colls Christmas tournament. GO LIONS!!!

We will be hosting a HS Varsity Tourney on Saturday Dec 23rd and HS JV Tourney on Tuesday Dec 26th. We’ll need help with the snack stand and working the door. Any help is appreciated. If you’re willing to help for an hour or two, please let us know.

Also we’d like to have as many of our wrestlers there as possible to support the HS kids on Dec 23rd. It’ll be good for the boys to watch HS wrestling and learn more about the sport. On Dec 26th, we’ll be taking a group of our kids to the Collingswood MS tournament. It’s an early tournament, so if you can’t make it, please let us know now.
