Meeting Date:  1^st Monday of each Month
Next Meeting:  May 5, 2008

Buc Boosters meet the first Monday of the month at 6:00 P.M. in the University School Library.

We are  “Buc Boosters”

University school sports are having a great spring and there are still plenty of games and events to watch. Make sure to catch one of the remaining boys’ soccer games. The team is being led by a big group of seniors. Daniel Foster had a hat trick by scoring 3 goals in the 1^st half of the Crockett game. Senior night made it extra special and a big crowd was there to see it. In addition to the seniors, coach Chirica has a talented bunch of sophomores starting and playing also. Keep supporting them by getting to the games.

Our girls have really played some great softball at times this year. They have a very young team, some talented upperclassmen, (2 seniors) just not enough upperclassmen. There are lots of athletic sophomores and freshmen coming up led by sophomore varsity pitcher Ashley Tipton, and I’m sure the coaches are looking forward to them all having another year of experience. Watch for them to have a strong finish this year like they did last year. Check the schedule and catch a game.

Track and field team is brand new. We have no home track yet, so all the events are away. Doesn’t seem to bother Coach Cahill, the girl’s team won the conference and he is looking to go to state. Coach brings his same skills and work ethic to the track events that have dominated the state tourney in cross country, and so I wouldn’t doubt him at all. We have senior Jessica Bentley, junior Stephanie Davenport winning in sprints and relays and freshman Carrie Jones winning hurdles. Wow…Go Bucs!!

The baseball team started playing tough competition right out of the gate and wins were hard to come by. Now it seems the coaching trio of Borden, Roberts & Ellis has them playing well heading into the districts. Varsity has 7 very good seniors, more than a few have their sights on playing college somewhere next year. Senior pitchers Taylor Fleenor, Tyler Evanshen and Will Burton have been dominant at times, add standout junior Ethan Vicars, and that’s a pretty tough rotation. More home runs by Law Loving and Matt Hickman, and steady defense up the middle may be enough to extend their season into the state tournament. University school baseball has lots of young talent and our JV team has played a lot and won a lot. They will get stronger and faster and in coming years and I am looking forward to watching.

Thanks again for supporting all of our student athletes. Go to the games, help in the fundraisers, and come to a meeting. Our teams need your support.

While the Buc Boosters program primarily supports the students through athletics, we seek support for all students and the entire school. University School students grades K-12 need continuous support from the community for every aspect of their education. You may choose to donate funds, materials, equipment, or services, directly to the school. We will be glad to speak with you about any resources you may be able to share with University School.
