Coaches,

Good morning, I hope your week has been blessed. I have begun the scheduling process but with the winter storms and schools being cancelled I have a couple teams that needed this morning to confirm their commitments and restrictions. I plan for games to begin about 10:00am and final game will begin at 6:00pm.

I plan to have the schedule released by 6:00pm this evening. Thank you again for your patience through the process. We look forward to a great event.
