Hawks:   It's another wild week!  We start out with back to back home games and end with our varsity playing a homeschool round robin in Charlotte.  This Saturday is a great preparation opportunity for those going to the Home School World Series. Both teams we play, Atlanta (National Champions) and Charlotte, will also be in Orlando.  Last year we knocked out the defending NC State champion Stampede in the first round of the state tournament and, though losing to Atlanta 16-4 in Florida, (if I remember right) the Hawks led that game for three innings and out-hit the Barons in the contest.  So, if you are going to Florida, please do your best to make those games.  I've included at the bottom of the e-mail the rate for the La Quinta in Charlotte for those who may want to go up the night before, Friday, April 15.  It is 8.0 miles from the ball field.  If you are considering staying the night, please let me know.  Should enough varsity want to go up early, we could find a place to practice late that afternoon in Charlotte (instead of Wilder's Grove).

Speaking of hotels,  due by today is your World Series reservations at the Lakeland West La Quinta in West Lake, Florida.  If at all possible, please try to stay with the team.  Most nights (and some of the mornings) the players gather for bible study and prayer.  Win or lose, it our time staying together at the hotel that the players seem to remember the most.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; Who pardons all our iniquities; Who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from the pit; Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; Who satisfies your years with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle. -Psalm 103:1-5
