Today we will get back to a normal practice. 


Also, this week when we play Jesuit we are having "Sadie's Night" and will be raising money for Sadie Bono, a 3 year old girl that lives in the Lake Highlands area who has a condition known as Pfeiffer Syndrome.  Here is a little more information about Sadie:

Sadie is a smart, funny three year old.  She is cognitively normal and enjoys reading books, playing with puzzles, singing and having dance parties with her sister. 

Sadie has Pfeiffer Syndrome (type I), a genetic skull disorder affecting approximately 1 in 100,000 individuals.   Her skull sutures prematurely fused in the womb causing her face and head to grow abnormally.  Her eyes are normal sized, but she does not have proper bone structure surrounding them causing them to appear large.  Her nasal airways are severely narrowed, making breathing difficult.  Therefore she breathes with the assistance of a tracheostomy tube. 

Because of Sadie’s age, she does not understand her medical condition, although she knows she has a trach and notices that others do not.  Sadie has frequent doctor’s appointments, tests and hospitalizations.  She pretend plays doctor often as this is a huge part of her life.   

Sadie looks different.  She attracts stares and questions most places we go. It is important to our family that people see and like Sadie and others with facial differences just as they are.   The more exposure we bring to facial differences the more understanding our community will be.

GAME ON!!

As of now all games are ON! If anything changes I will let you know.

TOMORROW (FRIDAY 3-23-2012)

JV RED   You will be playing Burleson Centennial at 6:00 at HOME.  You need to be at the field by 4:45.



JV BLACK  You will be traveling to Berkner and your game will start at 5:00.  The bus will be leaving at 4:45 so if you want to take some cuts before you leave then you will need to be here around 4:00.




VARSITY  We will be playing Berkner at their place at 7:00.  The bus will be leaving at 5:45.  Be at the field to hit in the cages at 5:00.  JV RED will probably be mixed in there with you guys since they have a home game starting at 6:00. 

TODAY

We will try to practice today.  If it is too muddy on the field then we will take ground balls and fly balls in the outfield.  We will also hit in the cages.

PLAY BALL

The Varsity game against Sunset will be Wednesday at 7:00. We will be wearing white pants, black jerseys, and black hats. Be at the field no later than 5:45.

TUESDAY

Well, as you might can guess, our games today have been cancelled. The bad part about this is that the district will NOT allow us to make up the JV BLACK game so when we play Sunset it will be a Varsity game only. Right now I'm not sure if that will be tomorrow or Thursday. I'm going to go out at lunch and see what the field looks like before I make a decision. As for this afternoon, if it isn't raining(too hard)or lightening then we will hit in the cages during practice and probably work on the field. Hopefully I will know by this evening if we will play tomorrow or Thursday.

JV RED.....PLAY BALL!

With the rain still way west of us the game will go on as scheduled at Mesquite Horn.  Good luck!

CURRENTLY.....

JV RED - as of now your game is still ON.  If anything changes between now and 2:00 I will let you know.

MONDAY

I hope everyone had nice restful few days off. It is now time to get back to work. JV RED -- you are playing at Mesquite Horn at 4:30 (weather permitting). The bus will leave from it's normal spot at 3:30. VARSITY and JV BLACK we will try to practice if it isn't raining. If the field is too wet we will hit in the cages as long as it's not raining hard or lightening.

!!!URGENT!!!
