POST SEASON TOURNAMENTS:
Coach Mike mentioned that our team will have to make a decision about whether we (as a team) want to participate in the Ralph Spangler Bowl. It is a tournament with local teams that we played in last year. We won the trophy there last year. The other choice is the King of the Hill tournament in Owensboro, KY. The dates of that are November 13-14. There is a website at http://www.odcyouthsports.com/football/king/.
Maggie will have a sign-up sheet/decision sheet Monday night for us to vote on which one we would like to go to.
NEXT WEEK'S GAME:
Next week we play South Cheatham at Harpeth High School. Game time is 2 pm. Plan to be there by 1 pm. Directions are below.
South Cheatham:
I-40 West – exit Kingston Springs #188, turn right and go .2 miles to three way stop, turn right and go .4 miles to Harpeth High School on left. Field is in front of School.
FUNDRAISING UPDATES:
The park fundraiser is complete. All fundraising we do from here on out is to benefit all our boys at the end of the year. Kevin Latham should get the Little Caesars Pizza Kit fundraiser paperwork this week (likely tomorrow). Each pizza kit/cheese bread kit/etc. sells for between $15-$18 and usually includes 3 pizza kits. For each "kit" we sell, we make $5. If each kid on the team can sell four kits, we will make $500 to use for the end of the year banquet. HOWEVER, if we (as a team) could sell 200 kits, we would have $1000 toward our banquet. We will pass these forms out as soon as they come in. These are typically very easy selling items.
Keep in mind, if (sorry -- WHEN) we win the Superbowl, we will need to purchase rings. I'm not sure how much they were a few years ago, but I think they were around $75 each. The park gave us some money for them, but we were responsible for about $50 per ring (or around $1300). In addition, we would like to pay as much on each boy's end-of-year photo book (promise I'll do it faster this year!!) as possible. There are also the other "swag" we'd like to get the kids. You can see we need several thousand dollars to accomplish this. We have done it in year's past, and I'm sure we can do it again.
