Yearbook Raffle Winners

Tammy Cage and Jamie Mize were the winners of the two $190 drawings for the raffle.  Please congratulate the ladies and thanks to all who contributed!

Team Color Changes

We received bad news tonight.  Our jersey vendor, Southside Sports, cannot fulfill our jersey order for the gold and silver jerseys.  At this late date we had no other alternative but to choose the two colors he could obtain for our order.  Choosing another brand of jersey or a new jersey vendor would require resizing all of our players and we only have a little over 2 weeks before we need the jerseys for the team pictures.  The new colors are maroon and forest green.  We worked with the coaches that were affected and the following changes have been made.

• Coach Meng - the 5/6 Gold Cougars are now the 5/6 Maroon Cougars
• Coach Glaze - the 7/8 Gold Cougars are now the 7/8 Maroon Cougars
• Coach Blaylock - the 7/8 Silver Cougars are now the 7/8 White Cougars
• Coach Thornton - the 9/10 Gold Cougars are now the 9/10 Maroon Cougars
• Coach Graves - the 9/10 Silver Cougars are now the 9/10 Green Cougars
• Coach Wisely - the 11/12 Silver Cougars are now the 11/12 Green Cougars

The vendor has assured us that, with our changes, he can complete the order in time for our Jamboree.  We will adjust our Cougar gear to the appropriate new colors and we will update the Web with the new team information as soon as possible.  We apologize for the change.  It was a disappointment for all of us.

Rams Tickets

Please see Jill Graves if you are interested in purchasing the Rams tickets.  We still have a number of the 2-for-1 tickets for the pre-season Vikings and home opener Cardinals (12 year old scrimmage) games and we are ordering extra tickets for the pre-season Ravens (9 year old scrimmage) game.

Cougar Gear Orders

We distributed the Cougar Gear order forms to team representatives tonight at practice.  The orders, with payment, are due by the end of practice on Thursday, August 12th.  We will only place one order so please make sure you turn in your order forms to your team representative or to Shannon Richeson by the due date.  

Registration Raffle Tickets

We will have a container available at all practices to collect the stubs from your registration raffle tickets.  We will try to keep the container near the pavilion but since a board member needs to retain possession during the practices, it may be moving around the various fields.  The raffle tickets need to be turned in by noon on August 21, the day of the Jamboree.  The drawing will take place shortly after the deadline.

Concession Stand

Our concession trailer required some repairs and has been in the shop this last week.  Jim Crowe, our concession vendor, hopes to have the trailer available for practice tomorrow night.  

Thanks.
