Tuesday, June 4th Practice

Just a heads up that we are still going to have our practice today.  I have been watching the weather all day, and right now it does not appear that any storms will be in the area while we practice.  However, temps and feels like are going to be very warm, so we will be keeping things light and keeping an eye on everyone.  So, make sure to have water on hand.
Thanks,
Denny
