Hawley HotShot Tourney [ updated ]

The brackets are posted! We play on Saturday, January 4th. All our games are in the high school, east gym. Concessions will be provided in the HS. Please wear your late night with the nuggets tee or any white tee as Bill will let us borrow jerseys. Also, please wear maroon or black gym shorts. Remember to bring a water bottle (with your name on it) for the bench. Please arrive with pants and sweatshirt over your shorts as there is time in between games and girls may get cold.

Since all the girls plan to attend the Hawley tournament, we have temporarily divided them up into three mini teams and each mini team will play four 4-minute quarters amongst the three games. Each game consists of four 4-minute quarters. Note: we plan to mix the girls up for each tourney. If you cannot make one or more of the games, please let us know ahead of time so we can plan accordingly.

• 8:30am vs. DGF Black
• 10:30am vs. DGF White
• 12:30pm vs. Rothsay

The Hawley Hoopsters

The girls have chosen the name "Hawley Hoopsters" for their team name (through 6th grade). The uniforms are ordered and unfortunately the company we are getting them from will not be able to get all the sizes in the blue/white color by our first tourney. No big deal - but I'm bummed they won't have them in time. Does every girl have a Late Night with the Nuggets tee from this year? Please let us know if you do NOT and we can find you one to borrow. Then we will ask that each girl wear black shorts as well for the tourney. Between all the coaches, we can find spare black shorts if you don't have a pair. PLEASE confirm if you do or do not have this to wear to the Hawley Hot Shot Tourney on the 4th/5th. Also, many parents/students have requested to get their name on the back of their jersey (it is only $3.50 extra). If you do NOT want this, please contact us ASAP otherwise we are going to assume all want their last name on the blue side of the back of the jersey top. Knowing this, the price (including shipping) for the uniforms is $22.79/player. See their logo below - this will appear on the front of their jersey and on the left leg of the shorts.

Break Schedule

There will not be any Monday night practices until after the break, beginning again on the 6th of January. However, we plan to do practice in the elementary gym BOTH Sundays before the tourney as the girls need quite a bit of practice to be ready. Please refer to our blog's calendar if you aren't sure. Also, uniforms were ordered and once we get the invoice, we will send out an email on what is owed. Once the girls have their uniform, please have your girls wear them to practice as well as it makes it easier for scrimmage practice. Thanks!

• Sunday, 12/29, 1:30-3pm, Elementary Gym

Scrimmages During JV Games

Thursday, February 14th is the first opportunity for the girls to scrimmage during half-time of the B-Team Game. You will need to arrive by 5:30pm. The 3rd Grade girls will be joining with us as they don't have enough players to scrimmage each other. If everyone could plan to wear a white shirt (like the Late Night with the Nuggests shirts) to the scrimmage, that will make it easier to sort out into teams. We will have practice jerseys to put over the tees so they can tell who their opponents are. If you know you are not able to make it on Thursday, please let us know via ladyhawleynuggets@gmail.com so we can prepare. All three dates are on our blog's calendar. See below for details about the scrimmage:
