Senior Surprise!

The seniors had a little surprise on Saturday morning. Here is junior Jessica Sitarz to describe the events...
1,2,3 Gooooo! Those were the words that signaled the under classmen to barge into the seniors bedroom at six o clock in the morning. The underclassmen were trying to do something special for their loved seniors. And this is how it went, we would barge in each senior’s room screaming and spraying silly string all over them making them wake up. As soon as we got all the seniors together they had no idea what was going to happen next. Let me add that they were not a happy bunch this early in the morning. Because we are a very nice team and we love our seniors all we did was go back to our house where we had a nice breakfast waiting. We also gave our seniors and the whole team a little surprise. Everyone got a t-shirt with a nickname on the back and on the front it either said My Team Loves Me or My Seniors Love Me.

Home games and home cookin!

Well it is officially game day here in Turlock. Sunday games usually means a trip to the local Perkos for our pre-game meal. We try and eat 2 1/2 to 3 hours prior to game time. Today it was brunch. The menu consisted of eggs, pancakes, and sausage or bacon. Otherwise known as the Triple Play! A good pre-game meal is a critical part of playing well. We try to have a good balanced meal prior to all of our games. The local Perkos does a great job of taking care of us every Sunday that we have a home game.
