Team,

Great work in our first week of practices. I am more excited for our season now than I was last week! 

This week we start games, and from then on out it is go time. Before I get to this week's schedule here are a few reminders. 
1. Please be working on our fundraiser. Our goal is $10k and we are currently at $5,800. Please get your parents involved and get the word out so we can hit our goal. For those of you who were in the play all last week, we will get you connected with the fundraiser on Monday. 
2. If you want pictures and did not hand in the form please bring it back Monday or email me back so I can let Cara know. For those of you who missed media day, we will take your pictures on Friday before the home game. 
3. Practices, team bonding, and games are not optional. If you are going to miss any one of those for a valid reason you need to communicate with the coaches. We prefer this communication in email as well as verbal. If there are days you are going to be out during the season we need to know now. 

4. Here are the details for the games. For home games, we will wear our white uniforms with our ECHS Basketball Shirts. Away games we will wear our black uniforms and our ECHS Basketball shirt. I would like the Varsity to be there for at least the 2nd and 3rd quarter of the JV games and then we will meet during 4th quarter of the JV game. JV I would like you to be at the 1st and 2nd quarter of the Varsity games.
