Housekeeping Info

As the season quickly comes to a close this Thursday, with our Thanksgiving Day match-up against Chicopee Comp, I wanted to make sure everyone was informed about the end of year process for collecting equipment.

In the past, we have chosen one day, after Thanksgiving, to turn in ALL equipment. This method has left me often chasing kids who did not make that one day.

This year, we are having three Turn-in Times:

1. Wednesday before practice, ALL players should turn in the following clean/laundered items:
   - White Game Shirt
   - Practice pants
   - Practice shirts

2. Thursday after the game, ALL players will turn in the following items:
   - Helmets (without mouthpieces)
   - Shoulder pads

3. Saturday at 9:00 am ALL players will turn in the following clean/laundered items:
   - Black Game shirt
   - Game pants
   - Belt
   - Girdle
   - Thigh & Knee Pads

** IMPORTANT: If you cannot make the 9:00 am turn in on Saturday, please arrange for a teammate or family member to drop off the required equipment in a bag w/ your name on it. Please let Coach Scammons know ahead of time to be expecting this so he can account for you and your equipment. 

Anyone who does not turn-in equipment as of 9:00 am on SATURDAY, NOV. 30th, will have their locks cut-off (if equipment is left in a locker) and a bill sent home for the cost of the missing equipment. 

Thank you for understanding the importance of collecting, reconditioning and securing our equipment and uniforms for future use. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated in this important process.

PATRIOTS RAFFLE RETURN

Parent Reps will be collecting the Patriots Raffle Tickets and Money after each of the following practices:

MONDAY, NOV. 18th
TUESDAY, NOV. 19th
THURSDAY, NOV. 21st

All players are responsible for the ten tickets they were issued. If you have not sold your 10 raffle tickets, please make a late push to do so. This was our only fundraiser for the year and it is crucial that we make the most of it.

Football Schedule Update 2.0

After a heart breaking loss in the first round of the 2013 playoffs, we have been added to the pool of non-playoff teams for re-scheduling.

This week (Fri. Nov. 15th) we will play Holyoke HS @ HOME at 6 pm.

As a result of this added game, the Freshman game originally scheduled for Nov. 15th @ Chicopee Comp has been re-scheduled to SATURDAY, NOV. 16th at 10:00 AM @ Chicopee Comp. The bus will depart SHHS at 8:45 AM.

Also, the start time of  JV game scheduled for NOV. 18th @ Chicopee Comp has been changed to 4:00 PM. The bus will depart SHHS at 2:45 PM.

Football Schedule Update 1.0

With the playoff's starting this Friday, we have begun essentially a new season. The schedule, at this point, is very fluid and the "Who, When and Where" we play next week will be determined by whether we win or lose this week.

This Friday we will be traveling to Dalton, MA to face Wahconah, for a Superbowl rematch, in the first round of the state playoff system. The game is scheduled for 6 PM Friday with the bus departing the high school at 3:15 PM.

Because of this schedule, and the need for all coaches and many Freshman players, the Freshman game scheduled against Chicopee this Friday has been cancelled.

What happens next?

1. If we win, we will move to the next round of playoffs facing the winner of the Agawam/Northampton game.

2. If we lose, we will be put into the pool of non-playoff teams for re-scheduling. We will learn who our opponent will be by Sunday.

I will try to update our calendar as I get information. Thanks for all of the support throughout the year!!
