The biannual evaluation of our academic progress worth anywhere from 10-15% of one's total class performance came to a close last week. For two weeks, students across the country partook in strenuous mental marathons in preparation for these make-or-break exams that, more often than not was the difference between two letter grades. Why must I have to persuade a teacher into swinging my grade two tenths of a percent up? Anyway, this is why I have not been posting for a while. So to all of you who I have given "Blog Blue Balls," I'm sorry I have been such a tease. I will try my hardest to post at least once a week and provide you with as much High School Ultimate Commentary as possible.
Now, for the important stuff: Spring season has officially started. Practices are getting harder, committed players stay and future lacrosse players leave, coaches get angrier and your team finally finds its identity. Fall season is, in retrospect pointless now because it's Spring season baby! Throw that vertical stack out the window and start teaching your confused little Freshmen such strategic mind-fucks as the cup and end zone offense. Say goodbye to meager, cold tournaments and look forward to slightly larger, cold tournaments. While the world holds its breath for Westerns/ Easterns and YCC, now we must prepare ourselves. Finals are over and Spring season is upon us.
We, at HSUC love your input. How do you transition from the Fall to the Spring? What Spring tourneys are you most pumped for? As a team, how do you best prepare yourselves for the rigors of Spring? Email me and comment.
