12's Team
We now have 13 enrolled players. That is too many. If we add one more girl, we will take this team and split it into two teams. They will practice together. Coaches will be led by M. Jones and M. Herr.
13's Team
We now have ten enrolled players. Ten is our upper end number. Everything is good to go with this team. It is to be coached by B. Worl and assisted by J. Ebert.
15's Team
We currently have eleven enrolled players on the 15-7's team. This number is too large, but we would really have to search to find three players in order to split it into two teams of seven. The core of this team had a lot of success last year in 13's play. It will be coached by Varsity Assistant Coach Gleason and Prairie Coach T. Wall. As of today, we will live with it being a touch large. Sorry.
We still have eight enrolled players on the 15-8's Carroll team. This team will be coached by Carroll Varsity Coach D. Crum assisted by K. Worl.
We have ten enrolled players on the 15-8's Delphi team. I am calling it Delphi as they have 7 girls along with 3 from Lewis Cass. We want teams to carry 8-10 players. We are right there. This team will be coached by G. Filbrun and new CIViC coach J. Weaver.
High School Teams
If Sunday showed us one thing, it was we have some good talent to spread out over four teams, especially at the bottom. It appears that we are going to spend another day of evaluating girls, so on December 17th we will be asking sophomores, junior, and the three seniors to once again wear the same shirt that they wore last Sunday.
Here is what we still need to look at. First off, the 18's team is looking for an opposite. Then, they have to decide if they want another passer. Those are the first dominoes that need to fall. At this point Megan Herr, Grace Filbrun, & Mia Moore of Carroll, Mackenzie Campbell of Pioneer, Jenna Goodspeed of Northwestern and Elizabeth Garing of S. Newton will be playing for Gretchen.
The 17's teams will be balanced as much as possible. The talent level we saw Sunday indicates this is not going to be too difficult a task.
Here is the team that is going to be a lot better than years past. This 16's team could be really good. There are some pretty good freshmen that will be playing. If I am Coach McMains, I would be ready to start practice tonight!
