First Week of Games a Success!

Thanks to all who came out for our first weekend of games today! It was great to see all the players in the gym. 

We just wanted to remind everyone that next week's games will be played at different locations due to a wrestling tournament at the high school - 

All 3rd and 4th grade games will take place at Fallen Timbers Middle School. All 5th and 6th grade games will take place at the Anthony Wayne Junior High. 

Also, if you are looking for something to do this Friday night, it is the last chance to see both the girls' and boy's Varsity teams play on the same night against the Southview Cougars. The girls' Varsity will play at 6:00 pm followed by the boys' Varsity around 7:15 pm. 

Thank you in advance for your support!

January 10 Games CANCELLED

Unfortunately due to the weather and cold temperatures, the AW administration has cancelled the Jr. Generals games that were scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday January 10.

Next week, all games will follow the January 17 schedule.

If we are able to reschedule the January 10 games, you will be notified as soon as possible.

Please refer to the schedule tab if you need a copy of game schedules.

It's Game Time!

It is that time of the year - can't wait to see you all at our first set of games next Saturday (Jan. 10).

A couple reminders:

1. Games are scheduled to start this coming Saturday (Jan. 10) at the Anthony Wayne High School. If you need another copy of the game schedule, please visit the link below:

Jr. Generals Game Schedule 2015 

**Friendly reminder to all 5th/6th grade participants: One weekend you are scheduled to play two games in order to avoid having an off weekend; please pay attention to this on the schedule. 

2. Your daughter's t-shirt or jersey (if needed) will be coming this week at practice. 

3. There is NO admission fee charged at games, so we encourage you to bring the whole family! We also do not provide a concession stand, so players need to bring their own water bottles or use the drinking fountains. 

4. As we were reminded this morning, we have reached the lovely part of the year where weather affects travel, etc. If we have a Saturday morning or afternoon of rough weather, I will communicate with you as soon as possible if there are changes/cancellations. We will communicate in the following ways: coaches email, participants email, major TV news stations (if they have their cancellation tickers going), program website, and girls' basketball Twitter feed (we encourage you to follow us -  @AW_LadyGenerals). 

5. If you are looking for something to do Fridays in January, consider coming out to a basketball game! On Fridays in January, you have the opportunity to come out and see both our girls' and boys' Varsity teams play on the same night. The schedule is listed below, with the girls' Varsity game starting approximately at 6:00 pm, followed by the boys' Varsity game around 7:30 pm. You will only have to pay once to see both games. I know that both teams greatly appreciate your support! 

Friday, Jan. 9 - Home vs. Perrysburg

Friday, Jan. 16 - @ Bowling Green

Friday, Jan. 23 - Home vs. Southview

Friday, Jan. 30 - @ Napoleon

As always, in closing I would like to remind you that these games are designed to teach these young girls the game of basketball and perhaps spark a love of the game. Your cheers and POSITIVE support make all the difference for these girls as they run up and down the court. I thank you in advance for your support at each and every game, but remind you that we would really appreciate you staying positive - towards both the young girls and our high school players as they assist on the clocks and as officials in the 3rd/4th grade games. 

Thanks again for your support and we will see you in the gym!

Jr. Generals Night - Friday, December 12

We will be holding our Jr. Generals' night THIS FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12 at the Lady Generals games against Springfield. This will be a big game for our program and appreciate the fan support.

All PLAYERS will be admitted FREE. Upon entry, they will be able to submit their name into a drawing to win opportunities to attend our summer camp for FREE or the chance to win a spirit basket full of AW gear.

All players will also be recognized after the first quarter of the Varsity game, and the girls will have the opportunity to wish the Varsity girls good luck, before they play the Springfield Blue Devils.

This should be a great night full of fun! Freshman will tip off at 4:45 pm, followed by the Junior Varsity around 6:00 pm and the Varsity around 7:15 pm. Below you will find rosters for each of the teams, so you can see which team your friends, babysitters, or neighbors play!
