Home Games Canceled / 5-25-11

All home HJRB games are canceled today.

This is Brown U10, Orange U10, and Black U14.

 

If you have an away game we do not make the determination for those.  You will need to contact your coach.  Coaches – you need to contact the opposing coach or community if you have not heard anything from them.

 

Thanks.

Thanks,

Brian Kayser, President

Holt Rams Varsity playing for League Title!

Parents,

Hopefully the weather holds out for our teams today and also for the High School Varsity team as today, Thursday May 19^th, they play for the league title!! 

The Rams overall record is 17-4 with a League record of 8-2.  Today’s matchup is Holt vs. Grand Ledge at Grand Ledge. 

Grand Ledge comes into the double header with just one loss on the year and none in the league (10-0). If the Rams sweep the double header they will be co-conference champions.  If they lose just one of the two, Grand Ledge will win the conference.

Also…

Wednesday, May 25^th is Holt vs. Bath at 7:30pm at Municipal Field in the first round of the Diamond Classic.

Tuesday, May 31st is Holt vs. Battle Creek Central, 5:30pm at Holt in the first round of the Districts.  If they win that they will play Grand Ledge on Saturday, June 4th at 10:00am for the District title.

From Head Coach Nate Potts: “Our season has been successful to this point and our fate is in our own hands which is nice. We sure would appreciate all the support we can get with these critical upcoming games. Thanks.”

Thanks,

Brian Kayser, President

Parking at Elliott

Parents,

For the safety of our kids and others, please restrict your parking to the paved parking lot or the grass areas indicated in the attached picture.  Of particular concern is the parking on the east side of the concession stand near field #4.  There is no need for this.  At times parking will be challenging I know.  Tomorrow for example there will be games at all four of our fields and possibly games at the t-ball fields. 

If you park in the grass, please fill in the area on my picture designated with a “1” first.  Make 1 row right up against the fence line then a double row in parallel with it (I’ve simulated it on the picture).   Then fill in the other grass areas if needed.    Obviously I can’t communicate this to our visiting teams but they will hopefully follow suit.  We will have some signs made up also.

Thanks for your cooperation on this and please drive carefully in these areas!! 

Thanks,

Brian Kayser, President

Game Results Blog / Concessions / Play Ball...

Parents,

A cool aspect of our website is our Game Results Blog.  If you’ve checked out the website you’ve probably already checked it out on the “Game Results” tab.   We need volunteers to do these little write-ups for each team.  It’s not hard, all you have to do is send an email to a special email address.  Here is a sample:

 

U10 Holt Green slaps Dansville Black 10 - 5

The Rams marched into Dansville to face the 1st place Dansville team.  Holt jumped out to an early 4 - 0 lead and were never threatened.  The boys scrapped and clawed for 5 intense innings against an Aggie squad full of experience.  The Rams hope to continue the good play Wednesday at home against Williamston

 

Check out the Game Results tab on our website for more examples from last year.  Some coaches like doing these themselves, but most are very busy with their coaching duties and wouldn’t mind help with this.  The kids LOVE reading about their team.  Even if they lose, there is usually a positive spin you can write about with encouragement for the next game!  If you would like to do this for  your team and have good writing skills please ask your coach if anyone else is doing it for your team.  If there isn’t, contact me and I’ll get you the necessary information.  As of right now, only TWO teams have Game Result Bloggers identified (and one is me).  Don’t deny your team some easy and fun recognition. 

 

Concessions:

We are looking for volunteers to work in the concession stand this year.  It would be nice to get at least 4 families from each team to volunteer a time slot.  Please don’t leave 90% of the work to the 10% of us who volunteer!  Contact Rachelle Shuler (jira_shuler@sbcglobal.net ) to sign up for a shift.  Thanks!! 

 

Speaking of concessions, you can also help out the program by making purchases at the stand.  Most of the items are $1.00 such as Hotdogs, Popcorn, Pop, Water, Candy, Ice Cream, Snow Cones, and Coffee or Hot Chocolate on cool days.  For even less than a buck you can get Sunflower Seeds, Chips, Suckers, Airheads, and Gum.  Large size Powerades  are also available for $1.50.  Are you rushed getting to the ball field on time?  Eat dinner at the game. What’s better than a Hot Dog at a baseball game?? You can’t beat the price!

 

Let’s play ball…
