Congratulations, Coach

Today's match against Eden Prairie was postponed until next Monday, due to some of our players not being available.

Also not being available this weekend will be Coach Novak. He will be in Las Vegas receiving this award: http://rise.espn.go.com/boys-basketball/articles/2011/05/02-coach-of-the-year.aspx He doesn't seem to want to make a big deal of it, so the only thing I'll say is this: I believe that he could coach any sport at any level and be extremely successful. We're lucky to have him here at Hopkins.

For practice tomorrow, we'll be welcoming back a familiar face, Ali King (formerly Ali Barnett)! She, of course, had coached Ryan and I for the last five years, but is taking a maternity leave for this season. She'll be covering for Novak tomorrow, and we're excited to see her.

The moving of the EP match, on top of all of the other rescheduled matches due to rain, means that we will have matches every day next week:

Monday: Hopkins at Eden Prairie
Tuesday: Hopkins v Benilde St. Margaret's
Wednesday: Hopkins v St. Paul Academy
Thursday: Hopkins at Edina
Friday: Hopkins at Maple Grove

These are the final regular-season matches, and every one should be a tough test. For all of those going to prom on Saturday (even I managed to find a date!): be safe and don't be stupid. Eden Prairie should be epic, and I'll be back to give a recap of the match on Monday.

Until then,
Michael
