Weather

If there is one thing you can count on it is that spring weather will seldom be kind to a lacrosse team.  I love to play on grass, but it's tough this time of the year.  I give the team a lot of credit 50+ guys in the new gym is a tight squeeze....  So in our first week of practice we saw 3+" of rain, a foot of snow melt, 

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY NJ HAS ISSUED A
* FLOOD WARNING FOR... ... HUNTERDON COUNTY IN NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY.........* UNTIL 245 PM EDT SUNDAY
* AT 143 AM EST NUMEROUS SMALL STREAMS THROUGHOUT THE AREA ARE RUNNING HIGH IN RESPONSE TO SEVERAL INCHES OF RAIN ON SATURDAY. THE AREAL FLOOD WARNING FOR THIS AREA ISSUED SATURDAY AFTERNOON HAS THEREFORE BEEN EXTENDED INTO SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
A FLOOD WARNING MEANS THAT FLOODING IS IMMINENT OR HAS BEEN REPORTED. STREAM RISES WILL BE SLOW AND FLASH FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED. HOWEVER...ALL INTERESTED PARTIES SHOULD TAKE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS IMMEDIATELY. 

The grounds crew did manage to get 2 fields lined up for us.  We scrimmage next Monday.

I told the team if I won Powerball / Mega Millions that I'd donate us a turf field.  Then I confessed to a few of them that the lottery was a tax on people who are bad at math.  The one concession is that the first hot day in May - turf fields will swelter while our patch of weedy lawn will be cool, lush and green.
