I'm the coach and you are a player trying to make my team

Basketball season officially begins today! Tryouts start today and go through the end of the week. I am anxious to get home and see what Dan thinks about the new group of potential players. The first game is Nov. 14th against Druid Hills High School. Check out the schedule and plan to come support a game or two.

A close to volleyball season. We lost to Marist in the second round of state playoffs on Tuesday of last week. The girls had a great season and I know Dan is very proud! The state rankings should come out this week so we'll see if they show Jonesboro any love.

Dan had a pretty significant accomplishment during this season as well. He got his 300th win!!

It's A Girl!

For those of you that haven't heard, Carly is having another baby.....and it's a GIRL! I have had a blast with Andrew but am so excited to buy pink girly clothes for my new niece. Although when I tried to do that the other day somehow I came home with new shoes for Andrew and no pink clothes. I got a little side-tracked.

Congrats to Carly, Robert and Andrew!!! I love you guys more than you can imagine.

Love,
Aunt RiRi/Mel

State Tourney Time

Haven't blogged in a while. Here is an update on what we've been doing......VOLLEYBALL! The girls won in the first round of the state playoffs last Thursday and are playing the in the second round tomorrow night against Marist. Marist has always been a power house in volleyball, but I think we can do it.

Their overall record is 44-11. They won the county tournament, finished 2nd in the region tournament, 2nd in the Conyers Classic (out of 42 teams), and 2nd at the Volleyball on the Beach tournament in Brunswick, GA.

And since we are talking about state for volleyball, that means basketball is right around the corner. Tryouts begin Oct. 26th and the first game is Nov. 14th. Come out and support!
