We also have the pressure of having to do well this year, or our program is possibly cut from funding next year.
Same thing for our team. I'm home right now since the school was closed again because of weather. I'll bet most of the teams here in the northeast have been affected in some way. Between the bitter cold (-20 degrees) and snow and ice storms schools have been cancelled repeatally. We were lucky one of our sponsors let us use their shop for two days but we are starting to hurt with lost time. We'll going to have to pay the board of ed to use the school on weekends now to make up for it. Unfortunately the money has to come out of our teams budget so talk about our team REALLY getting hurt.
