The Week Ahead - 1.28 to 2.2

This Should Be Interesting

As I sit here typing this, we are on the tail end of a snow day in which we were not able to practice. As I look ahead at this week's weather, it's highly likely that we will have another day or two off.

Your flexibility to schedule changes and doing your best to try to get to practice on those days is important as we work toward our conference  championship and state weekends.
