Tonight MS&T Game

I know this is terribly last minute, but for any of you who are able to get out of your driveways, and were looking for something to do tonight (since your games were cancelled), the MS&T basketball teams are playing their last home games tonight. The ladies play at 5:30 and the guys after that at 7:30, both games at Gale Bullman Multi-Purpose Building.

Pictures, and End of the Year

Thank you all for being so prompt about pictures yesterday! We were able to get everyone done with plenty of time to spare, and I think the photographer was very pleased. As of now, the plan is that he will get the pictures to us (the Halls) sometime in the next 1.5 to 2 weeks, and then we will be responsible for passing them on to all those of you who ordered them.

Right now, it looks like Friday, March 13th is going to be our end-of-the-year recognition night. We are hoping to get the Junior High facility, and have the use of the gym and cafeteria there. Our tentative schedule will be as follows:

6-6:30 JH Boys vs. Dads/Older Brothers Game
6:30-7:15  Potluck Dinner and Fellowship Time
7:15 - 8  Player and Coaches Recognition
8 - 8:30 Girls vs. Moms/Older Sisters Game
8:30 - 9:30 Varsity Boys vs. Dads

For the potluck, RHAA will provide paper goods and drinks. Please e-mail me as to whether you family is able to come, and a rough estimate of how many people you will have coming.

Remember, uniforms need to be turned in at this date, if you haven't already. Girls and Varsity Boys - please don't wear your uniform for the scrimmage - we will plan to use the gold practice jerseys (for the girls) and the older jerseys that Hickles have (for the guys). JH Boys - please bring your uniform, if you still have it, and we may or may not use them for the games in the evening. If we do use them, our family will just take them home and take care of washing them. Also, we'll hand out the pictures (if we have them in by then).

As always, ask if you have any questions! I hope that everyone can make this date - it's always a great wrap-up to the season, and a wonderful chance to fellowship with other families.

let us know

Please let us know that you received the schedule change.

game is canceled; picture times changed

I was unable to find an alternative location for today's scrimmage, so we have to cancel the game. I'm so sorry!

Unfortunately, I still need to ask you to come in for pictures, but at a later time--hopefully this will work out just as well or better for all of you. This way, you can get your pictures done and then go to the junior high for our final home games of the season.

Adjusted picture time:
(girls will be doing their team picture about 5:15pm)

• 5:30 pm -- Team picture

Individual pictures will be taken after the team picture, so those not wanting one can leave

If anyone needs a ride from the photo studio to the the Junior high, let us know, and we will plan on it!

Also, you will be turning your uniforms in tonight, so bring a change of clothes!

tonight change

I just discovered a major oops on my part -- Wyman is not available for use today. I am still scrambling to see if there are any alternatives. Keep checking your email for the final plan.

Thursday help?

I just realized that Becky will be busy with pictures, and I will need to leave before the game is over, SO, we really are going to need some help keeping the book and running the scoreboard on Thursday. If anyone can help, please let us know.
thanks!
Dawn

Varsity and JH Boys, and Gold Girls --

Well, inevitably, we have had a schedule change since that supposed "final" e-mail. :)

Because of some facility issues on the Lebanon side of things, our games tomorrow (Monday, Feb. 23rd) are going to be played at Camden Christian School, IN Camdenton (same location as Thursday night - Varsity Guys, it's the same place we usually play Camdenton, check website for directions). We will still be playing against the Lebanon Rockets. Our games will be played at the following times (notice time changes, 30 minutes later) --
6:00 pm - JH Boys
7:00 pm - GOLD Girls
8:15 pm - Varsity Boys

Camdenton is a little further than Lebanon (1:15 rather than 1:00), but the games have been moved back 30 minutes, so here are departure times --
Halls (and any JH Boys families) leaving Rolla from Kroger at 4:15 pm.
Girls need to leave by 5:15
Varsity Guys by 6:30

Please reply to this so that we know you got the message! Also, let us know your driving plans.

Thanks in advance for being flexible, and sorry if this causes any problems for you.

JH Boys and Girls -- more about tonight's game

Just want to let you know I made some changes to the directions on the website.

• #1 --The church you are looking for is Bible Baptist Church -- it seems like it used to be the only church along there, but the last few times we've gone, we really have to search for it... the school sign in very little, so hopefully knowing the church name will help.

• There is more than one way to get to Camdenton, and the directions we posted last night may have confused some of you, because I don't think it is the "usual" route. I decided to try it last year after we had kids get carsick on the usual route, and I found that it was just as fast, probably because you stay on the Interstate longer, and don't have long sections of hilly, windy roads. So that is the way we usually go now. But feel free to go the other "alternate" way if you prefer -- directions to both are now on the website...

Looking forward to seeing you all there!
Dawn

*Change

Correction on the former e-mail:
On Monday, Feb. 23rd (Lebanon Game), the Halls will be leaving Rolla at 4:00 pm. Our game is at 5:30 pm.

Sorry about that!
Becky

Picture Form attachment

the photo prices. . . forgot to attach them to the last e-mail. :)

basketball update -- hopefully the final one!

Tomorrow (Thursday, Feb 19th) - Game in Camdenton at 7:15 pm, immediately following girls' game

• Halls will be leaving from Kroger at 4 pm because the girls play at 6 pm-- we would have room for anyone who needs a ride - please let us know immediately if you'd like a ride at this time.
  
• Let us know your travel plans, and if we can assist (we suggest leaving Rolla by 5:15 pm)
• Directions, posted on website     

Friday, Feb. 20th - Home Game vs. Springfield, at 6:00 pm Rolla Junior High Gym

• We don't officially have the gym until 6 pm, but we are occasionally able to get in earlier than that - so please arrive at or around 5:30 pm  and we will start as soon as possible.
  

Monday, Feb. 23rd - Away Games vs. Lebanon

• Halls will be leaving from Kroger at 4:30 pm. Please let us know what your family's travel plans are, and if you will be needing a ride. The game will be played at the Cowan Civic Center, directions are posted on the website (it's the same location the tournament was at).

Thursday, Feb. 26th *NEW*

• PICTURE DAY! We will be having them taken at Avalon Studio in downtown Rolla. It is located at 110 W. 8th St., right down from Alex's Pizza (the studio was formerly Kent Jewelery). Those of you who are interested in an individual picture, please arrive at 3 pm, dressed in your uniform. If you are not interested in an individual shot, then please arrive at 3:30 pm, in your uniform, for the team photo. Remember, for a team and individual, the price is $12.00. Attached is an order form with pricing on additional prints.
  
•  NEW GAME - Directly after we have the team photo taken, and during our regular practice time (Wyman, 4-5:30) we will be playing a game against the Rolla SIR team (we played them earlier in the season, and lost by only one point). This is the last scheduled event of the season.

We will plan to have an end-of-the-year recognition pot-luck/parent vs. kid game (? depending on what the parents are up for. . .) sometime early in March. Right now, the dates we are looking at are:
Sunday afternoon or evening, March 8th
Friday night, March 13th
Sunday afternoon or evening, March 15th

Please let us know if you have any known conflicts for any of these dates! We will keep you posted on what we decide.

Thanks, Becky

practice today is ON

We will have practice today as scheduled at Wyman (4 - 5:30 pm). We have double checked and have received the okay to use the facility, although school is not in session.

pictures

After discussion with the photographer, and weighing a bunch of different issues, including knowing people are gone Saturday, and it is awfully late notice to try to do pictures this weekend, I have decided to schedule pictures at the end of the season, on Thursday, Feb 26th. More info to come on exact timing and location of pictures. We have a blue team girls game and varsity boys game that night, and possibly a junior high scrimmage, so hopefully this won't mean an extra trip for anyone...

Let us know if you know right now that this will not work for you, and we'll see what we can do!

remaining Feb schedule

Hi ,
Below you will find the remaining schedule for Feb. Changes/clarification of previously published schedules are noted with a **. The Google calendar should reflect all of these changes.

The primary change is on Thursday, Feb 19, when we decided to send the Junior High boys team to play Camdenton instead of the Varsity (we may take a JV team)...I decided not to ask to play earlier, since I know it is hard for some of the parents to make early games -- I though maybe it would be easier for you to make this away game played at a later time... although it makes it a later night!

As always, be in contact with Coach Hall about your availability at each game so he can plan accordingly.

 
   Sat 2/14       2:30 pm       Home Game vs. St. Louis Blue Knights @ RJH
   Mon 2/16     4-5:30         Practice @ Wyman Elementary
**Thur  2/19  7:15 pm      Game @ Camdenton (originally a Varsity Game)
    Fri 2/20         6 pm         Home Game Vs. SWMO Eagles @ RJH
**Mon 2/23    5:30 pm      Game @ Lebanon (rescheduled from weather cancellation)
**Thur 2/26    ?? Possible scrimmage against SIR team to end season

We do not yet have a picture date and time scheduled, since the photographer was out of town this week. I'm trying to schedule it before a game or practice, so it doesn't necessitate an extra trip.

This week basketball schedule

Practice today at Wyman Elementary, 4 - 5:30 pm
Game on Saturday at the junior High, 2:30 pm vs St. Louis Blue Knights

game tonight

Tonight's games at Rolla Junior High.

We will start as soon after 6 pm as we can get everything ready. I'm pretty sure the school teams will be practicing until 5:30 pm, so I don't know what time we will actually be able to get into the gym. Please lay low until it appears the building is pretty much cleared out -- they really don't want us to overlap the school teams, which is why we aren't supposed to start using the facility until 6:00 pm

Another email is coming with updates for the rest of the month. We have several schedule adjustments and clarifications to make.

Pictures coordinator needed

It appears that we have enough interest to schedule pictures...I'll talk to the photographer about possibilities. I'm going to propose 2 different dates; Thursday Feb 12 for the boys (after Junior High practice and before Varsity practice), and Friday, Feb 13 for the girls, right at the start of practice.

Becky suggested we solicit a volunteer(s) to coordinate this project. We will set the date, but the the volunteer(s) would:

• distribute order forms to all players ahead of time
• attend the picture session, collect forms and payment
  
• arrange with photographer to pickup photos when ready
• distribute finished pictures to players
  

It probably would work best to have one person for the boys and one for the girls, unless a parent of both wants to do it all.

Please let us know if you can help in this way, and we'll pass along all the necessary information.

Team/individual pictures?

Taking a quick survey to find out how many players/families are interested in buying professional team and individual pictures for basketball.
Basic cost is $12 for an 8x10 team photo and a 5x7 individual photo in a nice folder. Additional pictures, including "trading cards" can also be purchased.
We'll only schedule pictures if enough people are interested, but we'd like everyone to be there even if you aren't planning on buying pictures. We will definitely try to find a time to schedule doesn't involve another trip to town!

Please respond to this email by Monday if you are interested.

Dawn
