Apologies to anyone who came late to practice to find it cancelled on Wednesday; it was called off for lack of participation.
The Elis will finish their season on Saturday at 2:30 with a game against the Bats at the Hillspoint North field. Directions follow.
After the game, the Elis will receive trophies and patches in recognition of a great season. We will also have pizza delivered to the field; we hope that even those with plans after the game can stay for a few minutes. Afterward, Michael Nealon's parents have invited the Elis to his house; bring your favorite Eli's bathing suit.
