Friends of Lane Library

'The young men of the THS soccer team that helped me at the library today were awesome. They were willing to work hard, extemely polite and worked until every box had left the library. It was a huge relief for me, as the volunteer who boxes most of the community donations, to have the many spaces that were occupied by heavy boxes cleared. Tell them thanks again.'

 For the last 5 years we have prided ourselves in helping with this event. It is yet another reminder of our motto: 'Victoria Ultra Venatus;' Victory Beyond the Game. I wanted to share this letter we received thanking us for our service and hope to see you Monday, August 5th, at TMS to help load the remaining books back on the trucks for the Goodwill.

Tournament Results

I would like to commend everyone for their efforts at Two-A-Day practices last week and at the Mason Pre-Season Tournament.

Five games is a lot for one weekend and we finished with a  3-1-1 record against some quality competition.

More impressive than that we scored 11 goals from 7 different players; many of whom had never stepped on a High School field before!

While the 11 goals scored against us is something we will work on,  I couldn't be more pleased with our conditioning, ball movement, and especially teamwork.

Your coaches  can teach you skills and drills but we can't teach the unselfish play we witnessed.

Practices will continue this week Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday;  7pm at THS.  THERE WILL BE NO MORNING PRACTICES.

We are limited to 10 'contact days' in the summer so next week we will be back to Open Fields  Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, 7:00 at THS until regular season practices can officially begin on August 5.  Practice times and locations that week are yet to be determined.

In the meantime you should all be working out on your own running and juggling.  Don't let this past week's hard work be wasted;  build on it!

You MUST have a completed Physical by August 5th or you will not be allowed to practice.  If you don't have your Physical yet, Indian Creek Family Health Center is offering discounted physicals tomorrow July 16th.   Call for an appointment and specify that you are with Talawanda:  513-523-2340.
