Two Women's Soccer Signees Named Gatorade Players of the Year

Cassie Amshoff and Delaney Snyder were named Gatorade Players of the Year.  The award, which names one player from each state, selects players based on athletic and academic excellence as well as exemplary character demonstrated.

Amshoff is a midfielder and forward from Sacred Heart here in town.  She led the Valkyries to the state championship game.  Snyder comes from Moon Area High School (Penn.) and led her team to an undefeated season and state championship.


What Day is it?

Well, first off, with yesterday being the longest day of daylight of the year we will start seeing the sun set earlier each day from now on, sadly.

If you like food it is National Chocolate Eclair Day and National Onion Rings Day.  Both sound delicious.  For us crazy guys here at Cardinal Couple it is a national holiday for us- National Stupid Guy Thing Day!  Well, that might just be me, but definitely an exciting day.

Happy Friday and Go Cards!
