Trenton Regional

[ERock(NJ)]

I don't know if any other teams going to the Treton regional noticed but hspas are on the same days. I was wondering if any teams that did notice have figured out a way to still make the practice rounds.

they've postpooned the matches a couple hours later i think. THe competition would end sometime around 6-7 pm.

HSPA's are gonna suck ugh, sucks being a Junior. Our school is fortunately close enough to Trenton to drive their in 20 minutes so we have a bus that will take us there.

Directly from a email sent to NJ Regional Staff.
"the NJ public schools are giving a required test for 11th graders until 12pm. This means some teams will not be full strength until then, so we have agreed to keep the field open for practice rounds later than the advertised 5pm."

High School Proficiency Exams. Huge waste of time exam that all Juniors in NJ have to take to make sure we actually learned something in high school .

O we have something like that in CT but it is for 10th grade and they take it during the school week every one else gets to come in late that week

Actually I guess there is some new state law in CT requiring all schools to start testing after 9 a.m. So I know Rockville will be getting out early instead of going in late which I don't like.
