• SAT: Final tournament weekend for FS. FS finished second in their bracket (based on results from 12/8) and will play at least one more game. The first FS game on Saturday at 12pm vs Bishop Montgomery at West Torrance HS. Samo is the "home" team and must wear navy uniform. If they win, the second game would be at 2:40pm on the same exact field at West Torrance HS. FS should bring both uniforms as they will be the "away" team and need to wear white uniform if they advance. There are no more tournament games for FS after Saturday.

As a reminder - no transportation is provided for weekend games. Players are expected to provide their own transportation. Please notify Coach asap if a ride is needed so we can arrange a carpool for Saturday.

Varsity will begin their tournament play on Saturday, Dec 15th at 11am at South Torrance HS vs Cantwell-Sacred Heart. Players need to report to the South Torrance Stadium Field one hour prior to kickoff (10am). The second game will be at 6:30pm at same location (players report by 5:30pm). Samo will only need to bring their white uniforms as they are the "away" team for both games.

Varsity will have one more game on December 18th and possibly two on Dec 22nd. Bus will leave at 1pm for the game on December 18th.

Please take a look at the following link for tournament details and info for FS and Var tournaments: https://southhighsoccer.shutterfly.com/tournament

We understand that the 18th is the first day of Finals (AM/7th from 7:12am-9:12am) and that the week of the 17th is Finals week. FS and JV not have practice that week except on the 6th period exam day. Varsity will only continue practicing as long as we are still alive in the tournament.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best,

Coach Chapman
