Practice Starts September 4!
Regular practice for the 15s season will begin Tuesday, September 4 at Jack Carter Park. Map to the park in on the link to your left. Three weeks between first practice and first game!
The first bit of our schedule is:
September 22: Stephen F. Austin at home
October 6: Cowtown Tourney
October 12: Denton at home
Or course, that might change, and we might have a game before Cowtown (I'll post an update ASAP).
After YATR (Yet Another Total Reorganization) we are now in Division III North, which includes:
And there is something being called "RuggerFest" for April, which appears to be a mandatory random-draw inter-regional tournament, and the game will count for standings. I am extremely dubious of this kind of gimmick. It only adds noise into the signal of sorting out who the best teams in a region are. It will almost certainly be moot for most teams by that stage, but there might be the odd upset that changes who goes to the semifinals - so you can have a good change of playing the same team again. So, it's got that going for it. (If you're going to add noise like this, it needs to be at the beginning of a season, not the end).
There's some kind of "second" DIII division in the works, for the Diablos, The Reds III, Woodlands III, and I'm not sure who else. Sounds like a Social division to me, which is
probably a good thing.
Someone tell the Sherpa and Luby to come home. They know they want to. How many Eagles in the World Cup to the Quins and the Reds have?

I need two classes to graduate and one of them is only offered on Tues, Thurs, 7 - 8:15
Lame...
Denton had some injury problems at the tourney. 3 matches in a couple of days is tough without depth. What's done is done. The bigger issue is the TRU vs. STRR. Bad timing and pretty late to make these decisions. Anyhoo, Johnny and Mattie might be calling a lot of matches for us this fall.
Training is right around the corner.....hope you're fit.
