Congratulations to our team on another outstanding win! It was great to see the boys bounce back. I watched the film clips [thanks Jim!] and I have to say that this was one of our best games this season. Wauwatosa East was bigger than we were, but the boys were able to execute and succeed due to their commitment and determination. Special thanks are due to the coaching staff: Kurt Alt, Jon Bassindale, Joe Fisher, Dan Hess, Steve Hummer, Doug James, and Mark Kortebein for their unsung contributions to this team. Their efforts this week were especially critical to our defensive dominance and the introduction of new offensive formations.
Thank you to all the parents who volunteered and contributed to the Junior Blue Dukes program – we couldn’t do this without you!
Our playoff game is against Nicolet at Good Hope Field, at Good Hope School on the southwest corner of 57 and Good Hope Rd. The game is NOT at Nicolet High School field. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:30pm, please have your son there at 12:45pm dressed and ready to go in their white jersey, blue game pants, full pads and helmet.
When I coached teams in the past, parents sometimes gave the coaches gift certificates or other presents. This was a very nice gesture, but for me coaching is its own reward and I don’t expect such generosity. I would prefer that IF parents decide they WANT to give something, they instead put their contributions toward an end of season pizza party for EVERYONE.
P.S. Jane Friesch is organizing the post-season fest for us. Stay tuned for further details.
