End of the Year

Last night's pizza banquet marked the end of the season ... but Coach Greg surprised everyone and now Kristen is in charge of setting up one last official team get-together at Friendly's. It will be great to have one more event as a team, especially after everything the girls accomplished this year.

Many thanks to Jim Alger for producing those incredible slide-show DVDs, as well as the game films from the last two games (and thanks to Janine for taking many of the photos!).

As John Maida mentioned, there will be free skill sessions for MetroWest players on Sunday nights starting sometime in April. This is a great opportunity for all of the girls to keep sharp and have more fun on the court together. When there is more information available, we'll post it here.
