Hoopster Gear

Some families have expressed interest in being able to get shirts to support the team during tourneys, so we quickly put together an order form of a few items (for adults and players). THIS IS OPTIONAL and by no means is anyone needing to place an order. We only need a minimum of 12 pieces and we already feel very confident we can achieve the minimum. If we don't have the minimum, we wait to place the order next year at the beginning of the season. We will do this again next year, for anyone on the fence this year.

In order to get them in time for our last three tourneys, orders are due THIS FRIDAY MORNING. Please email your orders to ladyhawleynuggets@gmail.com (include item number and size, if you order the 1/4 zip you also need to include the color).

I have a few clothing order updates:

 

1) To add names to the items, it is just $3.00 per item (heat pressed)

 

2) The Badger 1/4 Zip Poly Fleece Pullover (Item#1480) is actually embroidered, not screen printed. And while it looks teal-like in the image, the believe it is actually closer to the columbia blue color like the rest of the items.

 

3) For any guys who need big and tall sizes, we suggest the following:

• Tri-Mountain Milestone ¼ Zip Pullover in Grey for $27.99-$31.99 (embroidery)

• White Bear Performance Pull-Over in Charcoal/Black for $36.99 (embroidery)
  http://www.thegraphicedge.com/catalog/item.asp?i=6378
• White Bear Performance Full Zip Jacket in Charcoal/Black for $37.99 (embroidery)

Tourney Rescheduled

Due to the weather conditions, the Hawley Hot Shot Tournament has been rescheduled to March 29th-30th. That being said, we will NOT hold practice tonight - which is good since the weather isn't great right now and the gym heaters are not functioning properly.

Normally we wouldn't have been able to have practice on Sunday due to the tourney, but as that is now postponed and we won't have practice on Monday night due to school being cancelled, we would like to hold practice on Sunday; however, we are not sure if we are allowed to us school activities are cancelled until Tuesday. We will keep you posted.

Weather Update

If the weather gets worse, we are going to cancel tonight's practice. We will decide by 5pm and post on our blog. Coach Gottenborg will decide at 6:30am on Saturday if the tournament will be cancelled or not. We will keep you posted through our blog. Thank you!

Feel free to call/text if you miss the post/email: 218.329.2904

Practice Friday

Weather permitting of course, we have decided to go ahead and have practice tomorrow night in the elementary gym. We have the gym from 7-8:30, but understand if you want to grab your girl(s) at 8pm. An hour of going through the plays and scrimmaging will make a big impact. There is supposedly some bad weather heading our way, so please check the blog (or your email) for information regarding Friday's practice and the tourney. Thank you!

If you prefer to call/text, you can contact Kirsti 218.329.2904

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.
