Message from the AHS President
Well not the rear view we might have expected only a week ago, but the Varsity forged through the last week with a competent 12 -4 victory in San Antonio sandwiched between two unfortunate losses to two very well manned teams: on the 5th we suffered a 9 -12 setback to Westwood on the Warriors home field and their Senior Night and yesterday on a warm blustery Sunday afternoon we gave Plano West reason to smile on their 3.5 hour trek back north allowing them a 10-8 win.

The Plano West hosting was our sole appearance on the Anderson High campus, our effort somewhat reflecting the condition of the oft used practice field, notwithstanding thus we appreciated the opportunity to show our colors and defend "Our House". The JV tracked a similar record but turned in a solid performance to beat Westwood JV 10-5. My two cents: with our high level talent & skills, when we show up mentally and harken to the coaches guidance... we win.

On an important-side note I was impressed with our recent fundraisers: Saturday's wonderful player turnout for the final coupon drive planned and implemented by Suzanne Pena with important assists from Robyn Nutt, Cathy Reynolds, Kris Stauffacher, Angela Nash and Coach K.  Another Fundraiser effort, the AHS Team Lacrosse posters turned out great.  We are on track, if we sellout, to garner potentially $400 - $600!  Special thanks to the Anderson Yearbook Class for the design and ColorSciences (owned by past lax parent Jim Burns) for printing. We as a club have worked hard in the oft uncomfortable area of raising funds and our effort has put the club in good position to meet financial obligations and support our Coaches and players come Fall Ball 2011.

Two nights hence it is the Trojans verses the Maroons (?) at 8:00 PM/House Park. I am conjuring the vision of a good 'ol Dagwood sandwich with a win giving us that final layer of a nice four stack... L/W/L/W  

Letter from the AHS president, Greg Weber:

What a dominating start to our District DI play with both our Varsity (16-6) and Junior Varsity (6-4) posting wins against Bowie this past week. The games were played in Georgetown and only after a yo-mans job by our Head Coach K to secure the site after House Park, our typical "home" site was pulled on short notice.

I thought for a minute we'd be playing under a running clock with "Wayne's World" street rules in play. Bowie came in with a 3-1 record having taken Plano West in a 7-6 game with one loss (Coppell). This Thursday, the 10th, its St. Andrews at House Park (here's hoping) with the JV playing at 8 PM AFTER the Varsity at 6. I predict a beautiful evening to come out and support our teams. A special note that NWAYLA has started the season at all levels; please take a moment when convienent to stop by MMS and say hi to the coaches/players/parents... they are our future! Last I want to bring up recent player issues with suspensions due to grades or mis-conduct. I've been surprised by the level of these issues but am confident parents and especially Coach K have addressed them appropriately and we'll be stronger having delt with them individually and forthrightly... and when we get to full roster.
