Big wins for our softball and baseball teams yesterday. Spot on pitching and lots of hits propelled the softball team to a big victory over Brewer. Our baseball team fought off a comeback from the Brewer boys by scoring 2 runs in the top of the 7th followed by solid defense in the bottom to seal the victory. Way to go Coyotes!!!

4/9 Update

TRACK: will meet a coach out on the tarred area between 3:05-3:10 to be walked over to OTHS. Practice will end at 4:45
BASEBALL: Students will change up (8 at a time in the locker room), and meet a coach out by the third base dugout around 3:15-3:20. Tryouts will end at 5pm.
SOFTBALL: Students will change up (8 at a time in the locker room), and meet a coach out by the outfield fence around 3:15-3:20. Tryouts/Practice will end at 5pm.
We take the temperature and ask Covid related questions to the students who are remote the first few weeks.
Due to many factors WE will make a big deal about following protocols or students will not participate.
LMS requires 1 physical on file for athletes in middle school. This season we will accept Form C as adequate for physical due to high demand on medical providers, but we do recommend working to get a physical on file if possible.
Paperwork that is needed for your athlete(s) is available on the LMS website under documents or by the front office at LMS.
