For those that did not know, GTV has been filming our matches for the last couple of seasons. They just finished the production of Wednesday night's match against Winnacunnet, and I have to give Adam McCune and his staff a ton of credit for the outstanding production value. I am pretty confident that we are the only team in the state that has its matches filmed and produced with this kind of high level quality. The link to the match is below.

As discussed at last night's parent/guardian information meeting, we are looking for parents who are willing to take pictures at varsity & JV events this season so we can use them in our slideshow at the end of season banquet. We are looking for a couple actions shots of each wrestler at each event, as well as candid shots of the team (wrestlers warming up, talking with coaches, talking in the bleachers, etc.). If you are interested in helping out please let me know ASAP. Thanks.  

Below are descriptions of and important information about the fundraisers that we will be running this season. All were discussed at last night's parent/guardian meeting, and will be discussed in more detail at our next booster club meeting on Tuesday November 27 (this will also serve as our monthly meeting for the month of December).

-Grizzly Brawl: This is our annual preseason event that we host. It will take place at the high school on Saturday December 1. The majority of the money that we make from this event is from concession sales. We are asking families to make crock pot items and donate bottles of water & Gatorade. An electronic sign-up sheet will be e-mailed out shortly. This event will be the primary agenda item for the next booster club meeting on Tuesday November 27.   

-Program Book: We are asking each wrestler to sell a minimum of $75 in ads for the team program book. Ads are due no later than the first week in December. Forms for filling out ads were distributed at the parent/guardian information meeting last night. If you need a form or if you need more forms, please let me know.

-50/50 Raffle: This will be a season long fundraiser. We are asking wrestlers to sell 50/50 tickets. The winning ticket will be drawn at Senior Night on Wednesday February 6. More information about this fundraiser wil be sent out after the Brawl. 

-Division 2 State Tournament: We will be hosting the Division 2 State Tournament on Saturday February 16. Much like the Brawl, the majority of the money that we make from this event will come from concession sales. Our booster club meeting in January will be dedicated to discussing this event.
