2016 REVIEW/2017 PREVIEW
The 2016 season would have to be deemed a successful season finishing with 8 total wins, a resounding win over our rival Orrville, a dominant performance over a strong Wadsworth team, and a great finish to the season with a win over Thomas Worthington! As we reflect back on our preparation, we introduced the “Night of Champions” and continued our “Dog Soldier” training in July. The Season didn’t skate by without its fair share
of adversity either; a heartbreaking loss to Ashland in 3 overtimes, a hard fought battle with Lexington, and multiple injuries among key personnel and positions throughout the season.
In spite of this, we still feel that much was accomplished in 2016 and that there is much to be proud of! As we prepare for the 2017 season, it’s the experience of these hardships that motivates the coaching staff and hopefully you as players to get even better! As we begin to prepare in earnest for the 2017 season, we would like to draw your attention to our schedule, which will be the most demanding in the past 5 years; Week #3 we host Dover , Week #9 we travel to 2016 Division V State Champion Canton Central Catholic , and we conclude the 2017 season in week #10 at Ashland. This is a very demanding schedule which will demand your best in both preparation and performance!

NUTRITION TIP OF THE WEEK
For the most optimal recovery after competition/practice or lifting, you need to consume a protein-carbohydrate mix. The snack should contain 6 grams of protein and 35 grams of carbohydrates. Suggestions include peanut butter crackers, trail mix, yogurt with cereal, a bagel with cream cheese or peanut butter, or a sports bar containing the right proportion. This snack should be consumed within 30 minutes after competition, practice or lifting for optimal benefit.
