All matches will be played at the Legacy or Giant Oak Golf Course, and players should arrive by 3:00p.m. 
If you are interested in playing, pick up a flyer in the junior high school office and contact Coach Smith by Thursday, September 13.  The first match will be on Friday, September 14. If you cannot start this week, you can certainly start next week!

CROSS COUNTRY
Are you a 7th or 8th grader interested in running cross country this fall?  Cross Country is a 2 mile running race over trails and through woods and fields.  If this sounds like something you want to try, you're in luck   Even though the season has already started, you can still come out and join the team. All you need is a physical.  Then, just meet out by the big oak tree behind the junior high with some running shoes on and you can join the team!
