Big Win!

Today we beat our arch rival Greenville Christian 16-30! It's been three years since we've beat them!

Aaron played great--one interception, nine tackles, and 3 of 4 PATs. (The miss was a bad snap/hold. Nathan felt bad he couldn't get it down for him.) He didn't have any passes thrown his way, but they had him covered pretty well.

We are just so excited. This win insures at least 3rd place in our district. Next week's game will be a battle for 2nd place. Then it's off to playoffs!

JV Loss

JV played their final game last night and Nathan finally got to play an entire game! But I think he would have traded playing time for a win.

They lost, 16-20 on the final play of the game. Heartbreaking. And yet they beat themselves with three fumbles and an interception. It just wasn't going right for our freshmen and sophomores last night!

A Hard Loss

We lost tonight to what might arguably be the best team in our classification in the state. The frustrating thing was the we really beat ourselves with penalties and poor execution. The final score was 16-32.

Aaron hit both of his point after attempts, with Nathan holding for him. Aaron also had some good tackles on defense, too, including running down a player and stopping him just before the end zone. (Not good they called a penalty on his tackle, but it only cost a yard since he stopped him on the two yard line.)

The good news is that know we know if we play our best, we really can play with this team. In fact, if we play our best, we might even be able to beat them!

Homecoming Dance

Pictures from before the Homecoming dance. I think everyone had fun.

In the Presence of Royalty!

Yes, Aaron and Lana were named Homecoming King and Queen last night. It was very sweet and very fun. Of course Aaron was even more glad that they won the game 48-0 in the 4th quarter! He scored the final TD at was a perfect 5 for 5 in PATs with his brother holding for him. (Nathan hasn't played much since his injury.)

The pep rally earlier in the day was fun, too. But homecoming is a bit bittersweet with a senior. Somehow it really signifies the beginning of the end of high school. They'll be off to the dance tonight, so I'll post pictures of that tomorrow, but here are a few other ones from the pep rally and game. Enjoy!

A Win to Open District Pla

We played our first district game of 2010 and came up with a win. It ended at half with us up 74-16. Nathan didn't play much. I guess they are going to ease him back in? Aaron didn't have any catches, and only one ball thrown his way at all. He did make 7 of 10 PATs and made a good tackle on defense. And did I mention he was chosen as one of the two captains for this year? Yes, we're pretty proud.

Rehab Assignment: JV Game

Nathan played in the JV game since Varsity has a bye this week. He played two or three series at QB, throwing one TD pass to his friend Garrett. He also got to play a little on defense and made a tackle. It was a good night for the freshman and sophomore boys, who won 34-6 and loved that they actually got to play!
