Big Week Ahead: Hanover vs. Exeter on All Fronts

The week ahead is full of important events for all of the teams in the program, highlighted first and foremost by the first day of school on Wednesday.  Nothing is more important to us than having every player get off to a good start in school, and establish a productive routine.  This is the week where we begin a schedule that includes training and games at Dresden, and we'll be working hard to make sure that our bus transportation schedule (with a new contractor) works well.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, all four teams in the program will take on their counterparts from Exeter High School, one of the few school in the state that has comparable numbers.  On Tuesday, the Varsity and JV will travel to Exeter for 4:30 games. The bus will leave at 1:30 sharp.  On Wednesday, we will host a doubleheader at Dresden, with the Freshmen and Reserves hosting their Exeter counterparts at 4:30.  The team busses will leave HHS at approximately 3:00.  The Freshman and Reserve schedules have bounced around a bit this week, but Wednesday's games are now locked in.  The Reserves will have two days to get their roster sorted out for the Exeter match on Wednesday.  Because we know what their roster will look like, we anticipate that the majority of the playing time in this match will go to the Seniors and upperclassmen.  There will be many games that will feature a primarily freshman lineup, but this one will feature the older players.

The remainder of the week will feature practice for the Freshmen and Reserves, leading into the Labor Day weekend.  The Thetford match listed for the Reserves will be played at a later date.
The Varsity and JV team will play at Winnacunnet on Friday.

The full schedule for the next two weeks will be published on Sunday evening.
