Sorry I haven’t posted in a while …between trying to win games and shoveling myself out from the blizzard it has been busy!!
We won at Randolph Macon for the first time since 2004!! It was a tremendous feat and a great team effort!! It was only the Yellow Jackets third loss in three years at home and the team just played with a lot of energy and intensity for the whole 40 minutes. It was a FUN bus ride back from Ashland!!
On Tuesday we had the “Poultry Road” showdown with cross-town rivals Eastern Mennonite. We prevailed with a three-point win!! We put ourselves in a good position in the standings with these two wins.
We had to change our travel plans to Guilford because of the snowstorm moving in so we played on Thursday. We dropped a heart breaker by three. It was a tough loss for the staff and players but IF we learn from the mistakes we made in the last three minutes of the game WE WILL BE BETTER!!
Tonight we travel to Virginia Wesleyan for a KEY O.D.A.C. contest. It is a game we need to win and I KNOW the team is ready!! In the O.D.A.C. standings there are a bunch of teams in the middle of the pack with five/six losses. The standings are going to be decided during the last two weeks of the season. We control our own destiny and have to be ready to play EVERY game.
Saturday is our PINK ZONE game at 1:00 versus Randolph. The men play W & L at 3. We have some great door prizes to be given away at half-time of our game, between games, and at half-time of the men’s game. We are asking fans to wear pink and make a $2 donation for admission to the game and we will also have a donation box set up in the lobby. All the proceeds will go towards the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund. We hope you’ll be able to come out and help us in this great cause.
Until next time …GO EAGLES!!
