The game time for tonight has changed. It will start at 6PM. Please have the boys arrive at 5. We will be wearing white jerseys.

We play Dominion Academy and then the girls play right after us.
Also- Friday night's game (Feb. 10 against Milford Christian) is cancelled.
Let me know if you have any questions.

movie (update)
TKC!
We all enjoyed the movie night last night. In case you wanted to know, it is called, "Greater" and it is the true story about Brandon Burlsworth, an All-American offensive lineman at the University of Arkansas in the late 1990s.
Here is a link to the movie on Amazon: http://a.co/0Ez2h2y
This movie had so many great messages. I encourage you to check it out. It's okay for the whole family. Once you see it, give it a review on Amazon and/or iTunes. Movies like this are hard to come by and it was self-produced and didn't have a big distribution company behind it, so spread the word.
Our next game is Friday night with a week of regular practice on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.
In Christ,
Coach Brown
Movie night- TONIGHT!
TKC!
Just a reminder- tonight is our movie night/ team night. I wish we could share this movie with everyone, but we only have room for team members and coaches.
The movie will be at 6:30 pm at our house.
Our address is:
7808 Tabard Ct.
Maineville, OH 45039
Please bring a snack and beverage to share.
We plan to be done by 10PM.
In Christ,
Coach Brown
Tuesday, Jan. 24 at TriCounty Thunder
TKC!
Yes, we are @ Tri-County Thunder again.
The game will be considered a home game, but is at their gym:
737 Love Road
New Paris, OH 47373
We will be wearing white jerseys.
We'll meet @ Royalmont @ 4:15 sharp. Please let the coaches know if you need a ride or will be riding separately. I will be driving our van, so I can take 6 players.
In Christ,
Coach Brown
Tonight's game (Saturday, Jan. 21)
TKC!
Tonight's game is at Miami Valley Christian Academy at 6830 School St, Cincinnati, OH 45244 at 7:30PM.
The girls' game is at 6:00.
For those that will not go to the girls game and those that need a ride should meet at Royalmont at 6:15pm.
Please text one of the coaches and let us know if you need a ride from Royalmont or if you can offer a ride from Royalmont.
Not I and Coach Backstrom will be at the girls' game, so neither of us can be at Royalmont at 6:15.
In Christ,
Coach Brown
details for the MCA tournament starting today
I've been in communication with both Coach Backstrom and Principal Willertz. Here are some details for today and tomorrow:
As Principal Willertz's email from yesterday stated, boys will need to be excused today at 1:55. Colleen O'Rourke and I will be driving boys to Milford for today's 3:15 game. We need volunteers to help with driving tomorrow when players will be excused from classes at noon.
Principal Willertz offered that if this arrangement causes a problem for anyone, please let me know right away and we'll see what we can do.
Coach Backstrom has asked that players bring both jerseys (definitely for tomorrow, but they should all have their white jerseys today).
We will know tomorrow what time the final tournament game will be on Saturday.
Also, a couple parents have asked how they can help out in the last several weeks of the season. I would always welcome help with either videotaping or scoring games, or both. For upcoming home games, volunteers to help take money at the door would be welcome.
As the season wraps up, in order to have a good set of stats for the season (beyond points and attempted shots that we take during the games), including rebounds, steals, blocks, etc., I am asking for help watching past games and scoring the games in the GameChanger app on an iPad. (This does not require any money on your part.)
And finally, we need help in planning an end-of-year awards banquet.
Thanks to everyone for their flexibility with this tournament.
Go Cristeros!
-Coach Brown
Games this week
This is a busy week.
Tonight we play East Dayton Christian at Courts 4 Sports at 8PM. Please plan to arrive an hour early. (see below)
Also, this Thursday we will begin a 4-game "round-robin" style tournament at Milford Christian. The first game is Thursday at 3:15. Boys will be dismissed from Royalmont at 1:55. (see below)
Friday, we have two games in that tournament- one at 1:30 and one at 4:30. Boys will be dismissed at noon. (see below)
The fourth game will most likely be on Saturday at 10:30 AM at Milford Christian, but I don't have those details yet.
I must apologize that this tournament will take up part of two school days. We (as coaches) did not know until late last week that the games would be during the day. Had we known that, we might not have agreed to participate.
I have updated all these games in Game Changer (except Saturday).
We will see everyone tonight!
in Christ,
Coach Brown

Otherwise, please meet at Royalmont to leave by 4:45.
IMPORTANT: please arrange a ride by noon tomorrow and please let one of the coaches know about your family's plans.
All 3 of us Coaches will be arriving early, so you will need to make arrangements separately with another family.

Jersey Night- tomorrow (Thursday at 6PM)
So... last night was a tough loss. But we get to play them again late in the season.
The game is posted on-line on YouTube. It is unlisted, but the link is:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t59XUS8fV-k
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Tomorrow night is Jersey Night. This was originally planned to take place *before* our first game. But be that as it may, we will meet at school in the chapel at 6PM.
Dads, please come prepared to say something about your son as you hand him his jersey. This is a great time for you to highlight his virtues, congratulate him on accomplishments or just tell him you love him.
Moms- if Dad can't make it, you or someone else (uncle, grandfather, etc.) is welcome to stand in for Dad.
We will practice after Jersey Night. Also, please click through on this email to see info on games. (There is NO game on Friday night.)
I will be updating the practice schedule to reflect the addition of Monday night practice.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
in Christ,
Coach Brown
