Hello Spartan faithful! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer vacation, reading lots of books, and sleeping late. I'm getting 2 of 3 done; the sleeping late is tough.
As summer progresses quickly it's time to start thinking about football practice! Despite the fact that all the info was passed out before school ended, I figure some of you may have "misplaced" the paper or maybe your dog ate it, etc. So here are the key dates and information:
Summer workouts begin Monday, August 11th! We will practice from 5-6pm at Westchester Park on the following dates: 8/11; 8/12; 8/14; 8/18; 8/19; 8/21; 8/25; 8/26; and 8/28.
There is no school on September 1 (Labor Day) so there will not be practice that day. Beginning Tuesday, Sept. 2 our regular practice schedule for the season will be Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays with games usually on Saturdays from mid-September until mid-November. Exact practice times for the school year will be posted at the end of the summer after confirmation from the Park.
Remember, please email Mr. B (spartan7th@hotmail.com) if you plan on playing, but will miss summer practices due to vacation plans. The summer workouts are not mandatory, but they will provide a head start for players participating.
See you on the 11th. Go Spartans!

Lady Spartans Advance to Elite 8
Congratulations to the Lady Spartans for their hard-fought victory last night in the CYO's Sweet 16! Coach Rawson has led his team deep into the playoffs yet again and this weekend is HUGE for the girls. On Saturday they take on St. Martin of Tours at 1pm at St. Matthias in Downey. A victory Saturday places the girls in the Final Four and assures them of a trip to Staples Center and yet another banner for the gym. After their victory Saturday the ladies play at La Salle High School in Pasadena at 1pm for a shot at their 2nd consecutive CYO Championship Game. Spartan Nation, this is AMAZING and who knows when it will happen again. This weekend could put the Lady Spartans in the same company as the Lakers (87 and 88, 2000, 2001 [the Lakers did win a 3rd in a row in '02 but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves!]).
Spartan Nation, you MUST find a way to come out and support these hard working ladies and their coaches. I've arranged for bonus points for all Junior High students who attend the games, so I hope for a huge turnout! Below are directions to both locations from St. Jerome School. Feel free to look up your own routes, these directions are from Yahoo!
