Thank you for your comments and your feedback it makes my life a ton easier...by the way I do read ESPNtheMag cover to cover every week and love Bill Simmons. Sorry I would have liked to post a few days ago, but I no longer have time to even play RockBand, so the blog also had to go on the back burner.

Please read Appleton East head boys' track and field & head freshman football coach Schultz's blog...the link will be posted under my links. The site provides an excellent overview of athletic training and nutrition.

This brings us into today's (tonight's) topic of discussion which is that of the new weight room equipment.

Appleton East has been given a grant from the members of former East football player, the late Dan Song. This grant money has gone to improving the weight room and the equipment has finally arrived!!!!!!! Please find time to come in and put the equipment to good use. There is progress being made on a universal program for male and female athletes to train together, and now with brand new equipment, the ball may finally begin to roll. ATHLETES (MALE AND FEMALE) PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO COME TO THE WEIGHT ROOM...ATTENDANCE IS NEVER HIGH ENOUGH AND THE MORE THE MERRIER. With the new equipment there is more than enough room and any other issues talked about amongst captains at captains council have also been resolved.

I will see you in there

Thanks to the few of you who answered the poll...I plan on keeping it running so as to get a feel for what you want to read.

Ill say this to those of you who like to read my articles: the next Courier will not disappoint (hint hint LOGAN)

onto recaps which will be the basis of today's blog

There is at least a one in three chance that you could walk up to anybody in the hallway and ask them for the boy's varsity basketball record and get the answer faster than Brent Schrieber can run a 40...if you can't wait the 4.7ish seconds for the response its here...8-1 (1/2 game up on Kaukauna for the conf!!) It's been a great start so far with the exception of one rough night, we have been very successful.

One thing that has flown completely (and unfairly) under the radar is the 6-2 record the girl's team has put up. I have not had much opportunity to see them in action this year as I am on the boys' varsity team (bench) but did catch a glipse at the basketball frenzy vs. AWest and hope to see a little more against ANorth. All I can say I have to say is that they are hot right and hopefully will continue to string wins together in the second half.

The second half starts on Friday with both sets of basketball teams playing in the ANorth gym...BE THERE
