Springfield, Missouri's Glendale Falcons

Forget everything you were previously told about the banquet. We changed the date so Coach Rogers could attend.

The 2009 girls team banquet will be held on Monday, June 8 from 6:00-8:30pm at Mille’s Cafe at 313 S. Jefferson.

Please RSVP to Kelli Lemons by Thursday, June 4.

Andy Dehnart from the Reality Blurred blog has a story about three documentaries airing this week. The one that caught my eye was Kick Like A Girl.

On Thursday at 6 p.m. ET, HBO will debut Kick Like a Girl, a film produced by Jenny Mackenzie, the coach of an undefeated all-girl third-grade soccer team, the Mighty Cheetahs, that takes on teams of boys–which didn’t go over well with the boys who lost to the girls, nor to their parents. The network says the documentary “chronicles the adventures of these third-grade underdogs as they set out to prove their game skills and overcome the skepticism of opponents and parents,” and “examines the origin of gender stereotypes.”

It sounds like a good way to get ready for Saturday!
