Posted 12/4/2011 EZRA EVENT - Sock Hop! December 16th, 8:30pm-12:00 midnight
Immediately after the Trailblazer basketball home games at Xcel Sportsplex, there will be an informal dance until midnight! Admission is $8 at the door, and the age limit is students or alumni 13-21. Wear your socks, and we hope to see you there! -The EZRA Board
Posted 11/14/2011 For the November EZRA event, we will be volunteering at Creatures Cafe this Saturday at 9:00. We will be cleaning and doing whatever odd jobs they ask us to do.
Because parking downtown might be difficult, we reccommend carpooling. If you would like to find your own ride, that's fine, but if you need a ride, or would like to find a way to arrange one, you can contact Sawyer Martin, Tori Marshall, or Mary Kania, or visit our Facebook page.
We plan to be done with volunteering by 11:00. So far, we don't have anything fun planned for afterwards, but we hope to be able to arrange something!
We hope to see you there!

Posted 9/23/2011 We are pleased to announce that Mission Hospital and Carolina Hand & Sports Medicine are again supporting Trailblazers athletics this year. Dr. Chris Lechner has kindly volunteered to serve as Team Physician for the Trailblazers. While Dr. Lechner will be seeing upper and lower extremity injuries, he will also be backed up by Carolina Hand & Sports Medicine’s Dr. Jesse West. Their practice will be available to see injured athletes on short notice. In the event of an injury the coaches can assist in the process of initial contact and Drs. Lechner and West can also be contacted through the information below:
Carolina Hand & Sports Medicine
18 Medical Park Dr.
Asheville, NC 28803
Tel: 828-253-7521
We are very excited about this partnership and recommend that Carolina Hand & Sports Medicine be used for all injuries.

boys interested in trying out should attempt to attend open gym times if possible Coach Peterson has made the following recommendations for preparing for the season: I need every player (MS & HS) to get a copy of the attachment and begin
working on the starred drills from weeks 1-6 a minimum of 3 days per week &
weeks 7-10 a minimum of 2 days per week. They need to shoot 100 free throws twice per week and I need to know the
number made and the most they made in a row. It will be best if they buddy
up for this. They need to run 8-9 miles per week but no more than 3 miles in one day &
no more than 10 miles in a week (for the overachievers). I need their best
time for 1 mile (I prefer everyone be under 7 min 30 sec) & 3 miles (I
prefer everyone be under 25 min). They all need to memorize Col 3:23 ; Prov 18:21 ; Phil 4:13 ; Ps 19:14,
1Cor 9:24; Prov 21:31.

Posted 12/23/2010 Trailblazer Families,
As the Christmas season draws near I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year! God has blessed the Trailblazer organization in 2010 in a mighty way. Not only in the athletic perspective, but even more so in relationships. It is a wonderful thing to see relationships at all age levels grow each day. I now count my best friends among the Trailblazer community. I want to thank all of the parents for making the job of our coaches easy. This is the only sports organization I have ever seen where the overwhelming majority of feedback from parents is positive toward the coaches. This is also the only organization on the planet where new athletes are not only accepted, but welcomed the first day they show up. That doesn’t just happen it is because of the wonderful attitude of a Christian worldview that prevails in the Trailblazers. I pray that this heritage will continue for years to come. God has started something special here and let’s all remember to thank Him this Christmas season. I look forward to seeing everyone on the court and the field in the coming year.
Merry Christmas,
Brian Davis

Posted 10/1/2010 Basketball tryouts for VARSITY and JV BOYS have been CHANGED due to conflicts with the Asheville Saints Football Team
Tryout dates: THURSDAY October 7 6 - 8pm
FRIDAY October 8 7:30 - 9:30pm
Boys are expected to be at both tryout dates but the coaches realize that there are conflicts with football and soccer schedules which may prevent this. If you are playing football or soccer then you need to attend at least one date. If you cannot make either session then you need to contact Coach Rennard or Coach Payne PRIOR to tryouts to discuss this.
Posted 9/28/2010 Basketball tryouts for Trailblazers Varsity and Junior Varsity boys will be held October 7, 6 - 8 pm and October 9, 10am - 1pm at the Plex in Fletcher.
Players are expected to attend at least one session. If conflicts prevent a player from attending either session then he should contact Coach Payne or Coach Rennard PRIOR to these dates. Team selection will be completed by October 10th and practice for those boys not playing a fall sport will begin the week of October 11th.
There is one additional skill session this week, 9/30, from 4-6pm at the Plex. Cost is $5 per player. This is an additional opportunity for Coaches Payne, Rennard, and Walker to evaluate players.
We hope that all players have had a wonderful off season. The 2010-2011 season is upon us and the coaching staff is excited about the prospects for these teams. We anticipate a competitive tryout process which will produce two strong teams for the upcoming season. All boys are welcome at tryouts, and we want players new to the Trailblazer basketball to consider playing for us this year.
Tryouts for middle school boys, varsity girls, and middle school girls will be the week of October 18th. Times/schedules will be posted on the website next month. The Cornerstone program tryouts for 4th-6th grade boys/girls will be in November. More details to follow.
Questions can be sent to Coach Rennard (rennard8@charter.net) or Coach Payne (karipayne@charter.net).
Posted 9/27/2010 There will be a basketball Skills Session for all girls basketball players this Thursday 30th from 4:00 – 6:00 at the Plex. Coach Stuckey (and possibly Coach Adcock) will be working with the ladies. Please bring $5.00 and be ready to work.

Posted 8/31/2010 WCAA is pleased to announce fall Skills Sessions for JV and Varsity Mens Basketball beginning this week. These sessions are open to all young men who are interested in playing basketball for the Trailblazers on either the JV or Varsity teams for 2010-2011. Coach Payne and Coach Rennard expect boys who are not playing a fall sport to attend these sessions. Those boys who are playing a fall sport are encouraged to come to as many sessions as possible if no conflict exists with their fall sport schedule.
We are excited about the upcoming season for the Trailblazers. Many of you have worked hard during the off season, and we are anticipating a much more competitive program this year. Players need to realize that it will not be easy to make the JV or Varsity Teams this year without some preparation. These Skills Sessions will focus on conditioning as well as team concepts for offense and defense that will be incorporated into the upcoming season. The game schedule for both teams begins in early November, and we will be preparing for this during September and October. Athletes who are playing fall sports will not be penalized during try outs but we cannot wait until October 18th to begin team preparation.
Try outs for the JV and Varsity boys basketball team will be October 7, 6-8pm and October 9, 10am-1pm. Players are expected to attend at least one of these dates. While the skill sessions are not tryouts, they will allow the coaches additional time to evaluate players for the
upcoming season.
Fall Skills Sessions for high school boys (9-12th grades) will be at the
Plex as follows:
Sept 2 4-6pm
Sept 9 6-8pm
Sept 16 6-8pm
Sept 23 6-8pm
Sept 30 4-6pm
Cost $5/session or $20 for all 5 sessions.
Note: Tryouts for the girls program, cornerstone, and middle school
boys will be held the week of October 19. More information will follow
regarding these dates and times.
Please address questions about the fall schedule for basketball to
Coach Rennard (rennard8@charter.net) or Coach Payne (karipayne@charter.net).

Re: Banner Sponsors
We are offering, again this year, the opportunity for businesses to show and share their support for The Trailblazers. The five foot banners will be displayed at home games during each of our seasons, Fall, Winter, and Spring (2011). A sponsorship is good for one year and is available for $500 or $1000. These banner promotions are renewable, annually, at the respective rates of $350 and $750.
If you are able to support your Western North Carolina home school team in this way we are grateful. If you are aware of a home school friendly business that may be interested, will you please pass along this memorandum? We are now fielding 23 teams and have over 30 home games on the schedule for the various athletics seasons of 2010 – 2011.
For further information or questions/concerns, please contact Libby Davis, 828-230-8945. Thank you so much for your help!
