EDGE ATHLETICS

“Unstoppable” was the word for the 17U team this past weekend! We went 3-0, winning the Tom Dowd Memorial 17U division. We faced two teams that we had previously lost to earlier in the season. We faced the Westchester Cougars in a championship game earlier this season which played into two overtime periods. The cougars…

The 12’s would eventually play 4 games this weekend. Although we finished with 1-3, our record does not reflect how we actually played.  We had some help from the 12u West team with the first game and Ishmael helped us out on Sunday because I was not 100% sure how many kids we were going…

For those of you who have been reading all of my posts you can see that the 14u Team is a work in progress. We would like to have a few more wins then we have, but we can’t change that and we continue to fight every game. We had a very interesting weekend to…

For those in our Edge community that did not know, Coach Jim Rhynders was admitted to the hospital last Saturday evening.  He had apparently suffered from a mild stroke.  After a week long series of tests, the cause still remains a mystery.  Jim was released from the hospital on Thursday and is still awaiting the…

The 14u East team competed in five games this weekend, going 1-4. Though the record isn’t where we wanted it to be, the kids competed hard and played throughout the weekend. We had our first game against the Wallkill Panthers. We started out playing them neck and neck and really didn’t back down. They went…

Entering our second tournament we knew that we would have our hands full playing 5 games in two days. We ended the weekend with a 4-1 record overall, with our lone loss coming against the IYB Blaze, who played our 13u team close that morning. Overall our defense is what won us games. We came…

As most of you now know, I was not at our tournament this weekend due to a personal situation that came up early Thursday morning.  As of now, I am still hospitalized but hope to be out sometime this week and will return to practice.  I thank all of you that helped out this weekend…

Parent and athlete volunteers are needed for this weekend’s tournament.  There will be a sign up sheet at practices for anyone interested in helping out.  You can also email me to let me know you help.  We need help with door, concessions, and clock.  Thanks.

As a reminder, the development group will NOT meet this week on Wednesday as I will be out of town.  We will continue next week on Wednesdays until CCD is over where we will re-assess the entire schedule.  And remember, the development athletes can go to any one of the 11u team practices every week.
