Please remember—
Summer workouts (strength/conditioning/ sport specific [girls basketball, boys football]) begin this Tuesday evening (June 2nd) at 6:00 PM. At 5:30 PM, we’ll have a little “Meet and Greet” to introduce Coach Gary Mayfield, our new girls’ head basketball coach, to parents and other supporters. If parents can’t make it then, he’ll be around after workout ends at 8:00 PM.

Teams are strengthened by being together in the summer. If you’re in town, please be there.

See you Tuesday.

Update from Coach Dye:

Looking ahead—

As has been our tradition for the past 2 years, our summer workout program will begin the week of June 2. Our summer program will consist of both strength and conditioning practice, as well as sport-specific skills practice for both Hornets and Lady Hornets.

At this point, our workouts will be 6:00 - 8:00 PM on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings. There may be other times the weight room is open for work on their own. Our kids have made great gains in our new weight room these last few months. We understand vacation time, but if he or she is in town, we would like to have them with us those three evenings. It’s a great time to build camaraderie during the summer. UIL rules limit our program to a six-week period for incoming 7th -12th graders. We’ll take the Independence Day week off, as per school policy. In these days, every school on our schedule (and everywhere else) participates in this type of summer program. Let me know if you have any questions. I’ll send out reminders next week.

Thanks for trusting us with your athletes.

Coach Fauntleroy, Coach Shaw, Coach Dye
