Team-
Attached are the updated Boys, Girls and Team Rankings after League Match #3.
Special congratulations to the following players who improved their ranking by more than 5% between LM#2 and LM#3, which is tremendous!! I've listed players in order of highest % change in ranking:
Ryan Brady
Theo Leach
Catherine Barton
Nate Chock
Will Hoge
Stacey Abrams (Now the #10 ranked girl in Oregon HS !)
Rachel Wolfard
Jack Edwards
Clayton Ross
Also, note that the Lincoln Black team is in 4th place for the top League Match rankings, and Lincoln Gold is #10. The top 8-10 teams will square off at the same venue (location TBD) for the Team Championship during LM#4 on 1/14/12. Lincoln Black, and perhaps Lincoln Gold, will partipate in the team championship.
New Players – DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED IF YOU WENT BACKWARDS IN YOUR RANKINGS AFTER LM#3. This is normal, part of the learning curve. You are playing lots of new players, and you are still figuring out the gaem. With practice, you will improve.
Second year players and beyond – DO BE CONCERNED IF YOU WENT BACKWARDS IN YOUR RANKING. This means that you are not practicing enough, or not practicing with focus. Talk to one of the coaches and we will help you with this.
The team standings have also been updated. Lincoln’s Black (tied for 4th place) and Gold (10th place) teams are among the leaders out of 42 teams. Go Cards!
