Ranger Nation,
Last week the players worked extremely hard. They are continuing to make strength gains and improve on their footwork and agility. The boys showed great discipline and handled the orientation of our command weights well on Friday. They are responding to each other’s leadership and encouragement. This week will be a little bit different. We are going to use some of the days for weight training and maxes. Our JV/VAR group will have some classroom character development sessions as a team. The extra lifts will be extremely important to attend this week. We have been gaining a physical edge on our opponents and will now be looking at making strides on the mental side of things. Thank you for entrusting us with the care of your child.
**On Thursday we are having an optional Lift Off vs Bowie High School at 5:30pm. This is not an official UIL event. This is something we have done over the last few years to add some competition to see where everyone is at. We will ask the kids about it on Monday to see which ones are interested in going on Thursday after school. Coaches will have a bus to take those who are interested to Bowie HS after school. There will be 2 divisions (9th/VAR) and players will be competing against other players in the same body weight category. We will bus the players back to VR at the conclusion of the event. Please contact Coach Wilgoren if you have any further questions about this event. Robb.Wilgoren@leanderisd.org
We are asking that our players be diligent about locking up their valuables during athletics and before/after school. Please help us by reminding them as well.
Have a blessed week.
Go Rangers!
