Basketball - 8th Grade Boys Take Championship Could the script have been written any better? The two teams that ended up tied for first
place met each other for the third time this season after advancing to the
championship game on March 15. Both the
Lincoln Park Lightning and Edgewater finished the regular season with a 13-1
record. Each team’s only loss was to
each other. This game also featured
another telling statistic. Lincoln Park finished
the regular season with the leagues top defense while Edgewater finished the
season with the leagues top offense. The
game did not start out well for Lincoln Park.
Mid-way through the first period Edgewater gained a 12-2 lead. A smartly called time out led to a quick
basket, a steal for two more and before you knew it, it was a tied game. The excitement lasted up to the last play of
the game with Lincoln Park holding a 2 point edge with under three seconds left
in the game and Lincoln park inbounding the ball in a dangerous area under Edgewater’s
basket. Lincoln Park called their new
play “Raiders” and successfully killed the remaining time on the clock to give
Lincoln Park a dramatic 34-32 win. Congratulations to the 8th grade boys and Coach Keith, Coach Steve & Coach Larry.   Baseball - As a reminder, we are not affiliated with the Tri-town Little League.

 Concussion in Sports Fast FactsA concussion is a brain injury and all are serious.Most concussions occur without loss of consciousness.
Recognition and proper response to concussions when they first occur can help prevent further injury or even death. The PAL is requiring all coaches to complete a free online course to help better recognize and understand concussions. The course can be taken at www.cdc.gov/concussion

Why? Someone asked why we had to get the kids off of the field when there was only thunder. Please read the information below from NOAA concerning the danger of lightning. In addition, we are not permitted to re-enter the field for 30 minutes from the last thunder or lightning. This means everytime we see or hear it, the 30 minute clock restarts.
►All thunderstorms produce lightning and are dangerous. In an average year, lightning kills more people in the U.S. than either tornadoes or hurricanes. ►Lightning often strikes outside the area of heavy rain and may strike as far as 10 miles from any rainfall. Many deaths from lightning occur ahead of storms because people wait too long before seeking shelter, or after storms because people return outside too soon. ►If you hear thunder, you are in danger. Anytime thunder is heard, the thunderstorm is close enough to pose an immediate lightning threat to your location. ►Lightning leaves many victims with permanent disabilities. While only a small percentage of lightning strike victims die, many survivors must learn to live with very serious, lifelong disabilities. Coaches - Any time someone on your team is injured, an injury form needs to be filled out and submitted to the program head. You can click here for a copy of the new form.
Parents - Anytime your child is injured playing a PAL sport that requires a visit to the doctor or hospital, we need to be aware of it. The coach should be completing an injury report form that we keep on file. If you are not sure if a form has been completed, please send an email to the PAL president at president@lppal.org.
Concussions In Sports - There has been much talk in the media lately about concussions. While there has been a reported increase in athletes suffering concussions, some of this may be attributed to a better understanding of concussions. New research now points out that minor head injuries may in fact be concussions. You do not need to lose consciousness to be diagnosed as suffering a concussion. Concussions can cause serious health issues later in life if athletes are permitted to return to sports before they are fully healed. It is important for coaches to recognize concussion symptoms and to provide proper care when they do occur. The PAL is requiring all coaches to complete a free online course to help better recognize and understand concussions. After you complete the class you can print off a certificate indicating you have completed the course. The course can be taken at www.cdc.gov/concussion
