COUGAR ATHLETIC ANNOUNCEMENTS

On Monday, May 18, from 1-2pm at Carson will be the LAST opportunity to pick up the SENIOR banners, booklets, award packets, and signs.  UNDERCLASS pictures and signs will be distributed at this time as well. Underclass award packets and awards will be distributed in the fall. Only underclass pictures and signs will be handed out at this time. 

ANY SENIOR who completed a season this year will receive a senior booklet.  Some of you picked these packets up when you turned in your computer; however, there are 27 of you who didn't pick up your booklet/spring letter/sign/banner.  Twelve Season Athletes or on the All-Academic Team can pick up awards at this time. Senior Girls Basketball players can pick up their GPA medals at this time. 

I will be by the car rider line at school, so students/parents can pick up their items.  
If you are unsure if you have something to pick up, please email me today or this weekend. 
TRACK UNIFORMS - Can be turned in on May 18 from 1-2pm as well

 This week in Carson Athletics:
We are currently in a COVID19 Dead Period.  No athletic activities may be held on or off campus.  The Carson athletic facilities are closed.  Many of you have asked about taking pictures on the fields. When the Governor AND the RSS Superintendent allow us to open the fields, I will post dates and times that will be available for pictures. 
 

Note about awards and patches:
At this point, there will be no patches/letters/emblems given to athletes from previous years.  Additionally, we will not replace lost patches/letters/emblems.  If you are missing or lost an awarded patch/letter/emblem you can order one through Varsity Apparel or Neff Company.  Coaches will be given a packet for each athlete to distribute at their team awards meeting at the conclusion of their season.  Any packet not picked up by an athlete or parent at the team meeting will be returned to the AD within one week.   The AD will hold the packet for an additional 10 weeks.  If the packet has not been picked up by a parent or an athlete within that 10 week timeframe,  the athlete has forfeited his/her award.  If the athlete has moved or changed schools, it is the responsibility of the athlete to contact the coach of the sport to request his/her packet. 

The following is what will be awarded by the school:
First time letter-winners: Varsity "C" and the emblem for the sport played (if the athlete has already earned a varsity "C" and then letters in a second sport, he/she will receive the emblem for that sport plus a bar)
Repeat letter winners: a bar for each season after the initial "C" is awarded (i.e., an upperclassman can earn up to 3 bars per year if lettering in three different sports; those athletes who participate in two sports per season with coach approval can earn additional bars)
TEAM County, Conference, Regional, and State WINNERS: Patch
Individuals named to either the All-County and/or All-Conference teams:  Patch
Individual Regional Qualifiers, State Qualifiers, All-District team, All-Region team: Certificate (If you would like to order a patch for this you can do so individually at either Varsity Apparel or Neff Company)
Individual Regional and/or State Champion: patch
Scholar-Athlete: Certificate

Thanks to the Jesse Carson Athletic Booster Club for providing the patches/letters/emblems for our athletes!
