2008 Emmorton Eagles 8U: My Site News

The 2008 In-House & Travel schedules are posted on our "Calendar" as well as the "Schedules" section. If you click a game in the calendar it will give you the location as well as the specific field (box hill 1, 2, 3...). In the "Schedules" section you have to choose the "In-House tab" to display the In-House games (the regular season travel games show up by default). In the "Locations" section of the site there are links to google maps for each In-House field.

The "Schedule" section is separated by Regular Season Games (Travel), In-House Games and Tournaments. The tournament times are TBA, as we won't know the game times until we do a draw to determine them.

We are scheduled to play Saturday (weather permitting) at Essex Elementary at 8am as first planned.

Essex Elementary School - 100 Mace Ave, Baltimore, MD. You can get the directions by clicking on the game below. Plan to be at the field at 7:30.

We had a very nice weekend - for the most part, we played well downin Overlea. Thus, we did earn the #1 seed in our bracket with a 3-0record. That gives us a game Sat at 10:00. However, given all of theback-ups and issues with the other age brackets, I am guessing that isvery tentative at this point. Stay tuned.

This weekend was another tough loss. There hasn't been a team we've played yet this year that wasn't close. Things are definitely coming together. We play Bel Air on Saturday and Hickory on Sunday. Both games are at our home field, which should be a nice change.

All Game Times and Dates are Updated as of Today!

The draw for the Essex Tournament is set for Sunday night, but Glenn won't be able to attend since we're playing. That means we won't get our schedule for the Essex Tournament until early this coming week. As soon as it's passed along it will be posted.

Check at the bottom of this page for the updates schedule to this weeks games. Please note that a game has been added for Wednesday 6/11 against Jarrettsville (another make-up game). Fenway Field, which is to the left (If your facing the field) of the Field we played on Tuesday against Bel Air.

The following is the schedule for the second weekend of the Essex Tournament as per the Essex Dugout Website. We are in Division 2.

• First Game: Saturday 10:45 am against Liberty Road - Eastern Regional Park Field #6
  
• Saturday 1:00 pm on the same field (winner from 10:45 am game)
• Semi-final game: Sunday at 8:30 am (winner from Sat. 1:00 pm game) - Eastern Regional Park Field #5
• Championship game: Sunday at 1:00 pm, same field (winner from the Sunday semi-final game)

Everyone hit, Everyone made the catches and Everyone helped contribute to the win.

Several things we need your impupt on:

1. Harford County Tournement is this weekend - Hickory Fountain Green Field. Right now we are set for a 6pm game on Saturday.
2. Summer Classic Tournament will go off after all - the weekend of the 28th at our home field (Box Hill Field). If anyone would like to be a site director or be a part of the grounds crew to line and rake the fields after each game let me know.
3. Email me to let me know whether or not you will be available for the Ripken State Tournament in Elkridge. It will be the weekend of July 11th. If we can get 10 kids then we'll play.

Two more things we need feedback on:

1. We need to vote to send two of our players to the all-star game. This game will be on Thursday the 27th at 6PM. Please e-mail me with their votes no later than Thursday June 19th. The only stipulation being they can't vote for themselves. Dylan Peacher is not eligible since he will not be around. Coach Garland will make the announcement at practice on Friday.
2. End of season party. We are thinking Friday July 25th, poolside at Maryland Golf and Country Club. They have a great deal where we can use the pool, and have soft drinks and beer for about $20 per family. We can then order pizzas. Let us know if that's a conflict for anyone.
