Hawks Baseball Updates

August 11, 2009

Hawks:  Below is the schedule for varsity baseball.  It will be 10 games plus the playoffs.  The format is continuous batting.

Practice for both teams this Friday, August 14, at Wilder's Grove, 3:30 p.m.

We are still on a holding pattern for middleschool.  There are a few more boys trying out this Friday for the team.  Since we don't start until September, I don't want to make the call too early.  The purpose is to give the boys some extra playing time together and experience before the spring.  If we have enough tryout by Friday, we will ask for a firm commitment from everyone and then post a roster on Monday.

August 9, 2009

Hawks:  Our next practice for both teams is this Monday, August 10, 6:00 to 8:30 at Wilder's Grove.  Right now we do not have enough players for a middleschool team, but since some other players have shown an interest, we will not make that decision until the end of next week.  We also have at least one or two spots left for the varsity team (see roster below). 

Let me know if you are still thinking of trying out.

I've attached the fall information & registration forms for those who did not get one at the last practice.  Middleschool players need not make any payments at this time.

The Raleigh Hawks Boys Middleschool and Varsity BASEBALL teams are holdng tryouts FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 3:30 at Wilder’s Grove. (Directions below.)  If you are interested playing fall baseball with the Hawks, please reply to this e-mail or contact Matt Finneran at 919-404-4948.

Raleigh Hawks Baseball
Now in our 5th year of middleschool and varsity baseball, the Raleigh Hawks provide an outlet for homeschool boys to compete with local schools in our area. Our foundation has been hard work, prayer and dedication to Christian character. Our team leadership and coaching is provided by homeschool dads who are concerned with building young men who grow in holiness, confidence, skill, maturity and trust in the Lord. We believe that when we focus on these principles, God will provide us with the necessary tools, talents and abilities to be a competitive program.

Skill level:  Hardball league experience (Little League, Jr. League, Middleschool High school, etc.) is required.

Varsity Games:  Most varsity fall baseball games will be on Saturdays beginning Sept 12 and run through the month of October.

Middleschool:  Schedule to be determined.

Wilder’s Grove is located at 4204 Willow Oak Rd., in Raleigh.  Take HWY 64/264 East to New Hope Rd.  Go north on New Hope and proceed across Business 64/New Bern. Go to the next light (Willow Oak) and turn left.  The entrance to Wilder’s Grove is on the left.

July 31, 2009

Hawks:  We have a similar situation for the varsity squad this fall as we did in 2008.  Double headers every Saturday beginning Sept 12 through Oct 17 (about 12 games minus rainouts) with playoffs on Oct 24th.  The schedule has not been finalized yet.  So I will be sending out that information and the costs per player (or family) as soon as I can.  Please let me know if you are plannng to play and any of those Saturdays that you CANNOT attend. 

We also were invited to enter a 13-14 team (next year's middleschool) in GBI's fall league.  Let me know if you are interested.  We need at least 10 players to commit to be able to enter the league.  

We will be having our first pracitce next Friday, August 7, 3:30-5:45 at Wilder's Grove for both teams.  If you know of any other players who might be interested please have them contact me.

May 5, 2009 - 10:52 pm

Hawks:  Fieldcrest Cannon would like us to use the batting cages closer to 4:00 than 5:00 tomorrow.  So we are trying to get to the hotel around 2:30....meaning our van will have to leave from Zebulon around 11:30.

After the cages we will seek a local high school field for additional practice.

Those who are coming up on Thursday morning should try to be at the park by noon (game time is 1:30).

We will decide about our morning team meetings/devotionals the night before, based on the time we play the next day.  Curfew for all players is 11:00 p.m. unless otherwise instructed.

May 5, 2009 - 10:55  am

Hawks:  We'll I guess it would be par for the course to have the last regular season game rained out, just like the first one.  But I haven't given up hope....there's still a chance the sun may come out.  I won't know from NRCA until 1:00.  I will let you know by e-mail when I get the update.

Also, Included below are instructions to Fieldcrest Cannon:

You'll also want to make all the parents aware of our back entrance to the stadium.  We took some damage to the bridge on our main entrance road which has forced us to limit and monitor the traffic.  We can use the bridge during our regular games since we have a smaller window to monitor it but since with this tourney being pretty much an all day thing, I am just going to keep the bridge closed.  With that, inform everyone of our back entrance.
It's pretty simple.  I believe most of you will be staying in a hotel in Cabarrus County which means you'll be taking I-85 North to the stadium. On exit 63, you'll want to take a right off the ramp (opposite direction of what the signs show you to do).  You'll pass by a big Pilot Gas Station and a Waffle House.  Just as soon as you past the Pilot, you'll take a left on Turkey Rd.  Turkey Rd. will dead end into Moose Rd.  There you'll pick up stadium directional signage again.  Take a left on Moose and as soon as you pass over the interstate, you'll see the back entrance to the stadium on your left.
 
That back entrance is also where our covered batting cage is.  Teams are welcome to use the cage.  Following a normal pre-game batting practice schedule should alleviate any bottlenecks or delays at the cage.  Players and Coaches only please in the clubhouse / batting cage area.  Families, friends and other fans will have to enter the facility through our main gate.

May 3, 2009

Hawks varsity:  Some of the varsity would like to practice tomorrow, Monday, May 4, before the middleschool game in preparation for NRCA. So we are scheduling a varsity practice at 1:30-3:00 at Wilder's Grove (or whenever the head grounds keeper, Chris Haynes, and his professional crew kick us off!) Please come if you can; it is the last regular practice of the year and our senior's last practice.

Also, stay around to cheer on the middleschool team if you can.  They could use the support.  We are praying we can go out with a win.

Hawks:  Congratulations on the number 3 seed.  This will give us a better opportunity to advance.  The tournament is double elimination.  Our first game is 1:30 on Thursday, but, if we win, we have to play again at 6:30 against Townville, who beat us 8-5 in regionals.

Please come if you can on Wednesday afternoon.  We have permission to use the batting cages and bullpen at the Intimidators stadium (Fiieldcrest Cannon), Wednesday at 5:00 p.m.  It would be best if we got to the hotel at about 3:30 and went together to the park at about 4:30.

Also, try to book your rooms by tomorrow night.   You can book a Saturday departure if you want and change it to Sunday if the need arises.

Please confirm that you received this and let me know your travel plans or if you need transportation.

Hawks:  We are holding an extra practice tomorrow, Thursday, April 16, 3:30 at Wilder's Grove.  Both teams are invited.  Please come if you can.
Also, I asked Ravenscroft to start Friday's game at 6:30, so I can get there in time from the middleschool game which starts at 4:00.  I was given a tentative yes, with the expectation that it would start earlier if I got there earlier.  So please try to be there by 5:15 to make sure we are well warmed up, no matter when we start.

Hawks: Right now the games a go.  Unless it rains beforehand,  any cancellations would probably be done at the field.  I may be able to get an e-mail out around  2:15 to confirm we are playing.  HOWEVER, IF YOU DON'T HEAR FROM ME, THAT MEANS THE GAME IS STILL ON.
Try to be at the field by 2:45.  I won't be there until 3:15...but start warming up and use the batting cages. Matt II  will have the equipment  there.

Hawks:  I will be at the field by 2:30 today to allow for some extra practice time, in case it rains and shortens the 5:45 finish time.  If you can make it early, please do--the middleschoolers could use some extra time in the cage, fielding, etc.
Also, the schedules have changed, even for this week.  I have attached an updated schedule for both teams.  We are still trying to add another middleschool, if possible.  I'm sorry I'm late on this but I've been without e-mail for 8 days.

Hawks:  Practice both teams on Monday, April 13, at Wilder's Grove, 3:30 p.m.

Note for varsity team.....if you have a theme song you'd like played when you are introduced to bat, please attach an mp3 of it asap.  I can't promise anything but we are trying to have a PA system when we play the Warriors at 3:30 on Tuesday, April 14. That game has been changed to Wilder's Grove.  Lyrics don't necessarily have to be Christian but must meet the approval of the commissioner (me).  If you don't send us one, we will be forced to pick one for you (like from the soundtrack "Swan Lake").

Also, if you are on the monthly payment plan for fees, please try to get your April payments in.  And any uniform payments still due should also be made.

Hawks:  The weather got better but the field is under water.  No game today.  Why am I not surprised!


Practice everyone tomorrow at Wilder's Grove, 3:30.

See you there.

P.S.  Lightening hit our house about 8:30 a.m. and surged through our cable system, frying a lap top and the ethernet connection on my Mac.  So until I solve that problem, I will be checking e-mails only once a day at the local library.  If you need to get a quicker response, try the old-fashioned phone system, 404-4948.
