They will have to have all this managed and put in place by the Regional Tournament that is approximately one month away.  Even with this the Rivals still managed to pull off a 4^th place team finish at a very tough tournament.

Whether traveling to warmer weather or a snow-filled adventure, make sure flu is not your travel companion.

It’s not too late to get a flu vaccine if you haven’t already done so. It takes about two weeks for the vaccine to provide protection, so get vaccinated well before your trip to reduce your risk of catching and spreading flu.

Wherever you may be going this winter, protecting yourself and others from flu is important. Here are some useful tips for staying healthy during the winter months.
