 There is practice Friday 12/22 and there will not be any practice during Winter Break ! See you Jan. 8th ! Enjoy your break !    Your Coaches

Sign ups are in the lunchroom this week 11/13. Students write down their names and then I will look up if they have a physical or not and a sheet will be given to them during their WIN if they NEED one, will expire during season or are OKAY for the season. 

Practice is M-F each day after school until 5pm ( TBD if it will go to 5:15 like last year). There are several Saturday comittments. 

1/13, 1/27, 2/17 (conference) , 2/24 Regionals,  3/2 sectionals, 3/8-9 state.  We have FOUR home meets at  GMS and 3 away meets and a few non conference meets as well.  Dec. 14th is a tri meet at Hawthorn South and Dec 15th is a special meet that Antioch invited us to attend.  Grayslake High school is Wrestling against Antioch and they invited our Wrestling team to come and play against Antioch and then all the wrestlers can stay and watch the high school teams play.  

If you are in basketball, please still write your name down and you can play once basketball is over. Many students are involved in band as well. Mr. Thomas is aware and we try to work around the conerts and special events.  

The first practice is November 30th and more information will come at that time and a parent meeting will be the following week TBD. Thank you !
