Isolation Update

Trust that everyone is staying busy, working on some fundamentals and hoping that we will at least have a truncated season. If you did not investigate the Online Softball school at Packagedeal.com   please give it a look. I have put incentives on the FB or What’sApp pages to make it more enticing. Hannah is continuing to send out daily exercises and I have recommended the 30day plank app to build up that core. Take time with appropriate social distancing to throw a ball with a friend or hit a ball off a Tee in the Dome ( no heat please). A special thanks to all the businesses in town ( and thank them when you see them) who have faith in us and sending in sponsor support. It will all be held in escrow until we are sure we have a season. Keep the Faith, no different than being down 3 in the bottom of the seventh with two outs. We can do this. #LND 

Limbo

We are currently on hold for practices and game schedule pending the School District decision on Covid19 mitigation.  Stay tuned

It Begins

The week of Spring Break we officially have the HHS Gym from 6-8pm. Hannah and I will be there on Tuesday and Thursday for anyone in town and are open to doing more if there is interest. Please have all your Planet High School requirements done before practice ( permission, physical, etc) The next week (March16)  we will be at HHS gym 5:30-7, please gather by 5:15 to start warm ups. Bring water bottle, soft shoes, etc. We will go to SPARC on Wednesdays, please fill out the SPARC permission form that is in the Team Information section or on their website- it is under register for account, at the bottom. There is no excess charge to players for this  SPARC Registration   Can’t wait to get this season going. 

We are Growing

Palmer High School – the Moose- will be joining the Northern Lights Conference this year taking us to 6 Teams. Homer will be going to Sitka for a 4-6 team tournament on Easter Weekend.  Looks to be an exciting season as we are in pursuit of our Four-Peat on the Region Championship. 

Winter Plans

Schedule for teams is close to finished- See varsity Schedule and assume that JV is very similar. Hannah is in Dome on Tuesdays and Thursdays after School. I am in the Dome on Sundays by request. MJ is at ATR after school for you to get in shape and muscle up – check with GG, AB, DH. This can be the year if you all believe and work for it.

In the Books

Another Great Season in the books. Second in the Conference but Swept the Region Championships. Best finish at state in years, getting fourth with the understanding we have a young team that will all be back but one. Lots of work ahead in this beautiful summer and over the winter to hone skills, build passion and hold our focus. Thanks from me for lots of memories, smiles and amazing moments.

Three Peat

Congratulations to the Mariner Team for the third Region Championship, battling tough teams, weather- showing resiliency, grit and tremendous support for each other. What a great group of players. on to the State Tournament, stay tuned
