Welcome

Coaches, Principals and other supporters:

Another Roskruge Cougar Classic is in the books---26 of them now. This year we played 67 games. When you have that many games, a lot of personalities and emotions will be involved and you can expect a few glitches along the way. I want to thank you for your cooperation and your understanding of the glitches.

Once again a big thank you to Herman House, Gary Lewis and Phil Elkins at Tucson High, Carlos Armendariz and Ray Unger at Pueblo, and Tariq Rasool, Esther Knight and Ralph Romero at Cholla for making the facilities available to us.

Interscholastic sports is one of the greatest drop-out prevention programs we have. And to get the kids excited about interscholastic sports at such an early age is a bonus to the entire Tucson community. Congratulations to all of our participants. They are all champions. See you next year.
