Men's Soccer: Message from Coach Haines re: Friday night's 2nd round match @ Broughton
Eastside Fans,
You propelled us to victory a second time over Chapel Hill with an unbelievable turnout on the road. Now your East Men's Soccer team needs you again to make the 30 minute away trip in numbers to support us in the 2nd round of the state playoffs as we take on Broughton Friday night at 6pm. As you know, we upset them earlier this season, but now look to complete the double and continue our run through the playoffs. As always, get rowdy, long live Eastside.
Sincerely,
Zach Haines
ECHHS Men's Soccer Head Coach

Youth sports is an enterprise worthy of a bailout
If the high school and youth sports programs in your town aren’t already having trouble paying their bills, they will soon.
And if that doesn’t sound like headline-worthy news in this battered economy, just wait. You’ll have your pick of headlines from the ripples it creates soon enough: fatter kids, more dropouts and less safe streets. You also won’t have to wonder why the college and pro teams you follow from the couch don’t seem quite as good as they used to be.
The public-private partnership that helped make youth sports part of the fabric of every neighborhood in America for decades is going broke. (full story)

Field Hockey - Senior Night: 'Cats whip Jags 4-1
Field Hockey's Class of 2010: (l-r) Victoria Beja-Glasser, Cristina Freiberger,Rachel Henke,
Sam Anscher, Helen Newton, Katie Walter, Chelsea Woodfin, Nambi Ndugga
Coaches always worry about Senior Night performances, worried that the emotion of the moment will interfere with the performance of the team. That might have been the case on Thursday as Carrboro scored quickly. But on that soggy and drizzly night, it was just the wake up call the Wildcats needed as they then dominated the action with fifteen corners, scoring 4 times.
In the end it was another hair raising experience for an East field hockey opponent
