BEN KENIGSBERG!

We missed too many people at practice today. It's our only outdoor practice before Huck of the Irish and not enough people showed (in my mind). I am pissed about this because I think if we had 2 or 3 outdoor practices with full turnouts before Hellfish, we could have won the tournament, but instead we had to fight for 5th. We missed you guys out there today and you missed my single score and spike. Anyway, I wish people would write emails like this everytime they missed practice, I wont name names, but we missed a handful of people I wish I'd seen today.

"hey guys,

so i just want to apologize for not going to practice today. i somewhat pulled my groin muscle at the thursday practice. its not that bad but its tight/sore enough that i was worried that a full day of running hard would rehurt it enough to affect me this weekend. so instead i decided to hit the med books hard because I have a big exam on the monday right after the coming up tourny and i really need to get ahead. but now im sitting in the library and im having trouble concentrating because all im really thinking about is all you guys out there working hard at prospect park. which brings me to my final point, my not being there is unacceptable. in order to accomplish the team goals we set at the beginning of the year, we need a higher level of dedication and accountability than that. regardless of whether i was going to play today or not, i should be out there in the cold with you guys. so again im sorry for not coming today and i cant wait to see you all next time.
