First off THANK YOU to all who helped with the VFW fundraiser on Saturday! Reminder to those who still need to turn in money and liability sheets, do so as soon as possible!

Buddies schedule for the week: we will go today (Monday) 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. Tuesday 4:30 - 6:30 p.m., Wednesday game at Rochester Knights 5 p.m. (Hudson Field try to be there by 4 p.m. if possible), Thursday practice 4:30- 6:30 p.m., Friday practice 4:30- 6:30 p.m., Saturday double header at Stewartville starting at 11 a.m., Sunday double header at Rochester Century starting at 11:00 a.m.

We will be going to St. Cloud for a tournament July 11, 12, and 13. The players and coaches will be staying at St. Cloud Holiday Inn and Suites 75 So 37th Ave PO Box 1104 St. Cloud, MN 56301. Phone number 320-253-9000. 

The VFW pays for the boys to stay 4 kids in each room for the two nights with coaches supervising. Parents need to provide transportation for the players up to St. Cloud, to and from the field and hotel, and back home. Parents can take players whenever and wherever up in St. Cloud, just need to let coaches know. Parents do not need to stay at the same hotel as players, but are more then welcome to. 

We will be playing at Dick Putz and Joe Faber Fields which are located at the St. Cloud Municipal Athletics Complex 5001 Veterans Drive, St. Cloud, MN 56303. Our first game is 4 p.m. Friday at Joe Faber Field.

Also, I've updated our game schedule to include our playoff schedule as well. July 19th, 20th, and possibly the 21st is the divisional tournament, site is determined by regular season standings. If we advance past the divisional tournament we would play July 26th, 27th, and possibly the 28th is the district tournament, with site determined by the regular season and teams left in the playoffs. If we would advance past the district tournament, we would advance to the state tournament August 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th in Brainerd, MN. That would be the farthest we could possibly go.
