...Eagles Rocked The Dome!...

{lots of pictures....}
The start to a fun day!!
Heather Benson took this great picture of Jess & I. It's been fun coaching with Jessica for three years and learning from her. She says this was her last season, which makes me sad. Maybe she'll reconsider?! :)
We took the cheerleaders to Tacoma on Friday after school - got to ride in style in a rented Suburban. I loved it. Thanks for driving Jessica!
We stopped for dinner at Red Robin...
Saturday at the Dome. All warmed up and ready to rock!
They've got their game faces on!
The cheerleaders got to bring the flag onto the field with the cheerleaders from Cascade Christian (all 14 of them!). Pretty cool experience!
The Eagle Football team after introductions...
Who's that cheerleader?! :)
Michael and Shane after Shane's amazing touchdown to start the game off on the right foot.
Eagles! C'mon lemme hear you yell "C"!!!

Go Fight Win Tonight! Boogie on Down All Right All Right!
Nate doing what he does best!
Briar's looking kinda sad, but he shouldn't be! We're winning! :)
Huddle with Coach Didier.
April & Kayla cheering their hearts out!
There was a competition at halftime to see which school could collect more change for the Special Olympics. Paxton was one of the kids chosen from CHS to collect the change. She must've done a great job because we won!
Halftime Performance:
Eagles Are Great!

Let's Go! Eagles!


Yeah! Go Kayla!

Lookin' Good!
Hello Eagle Fans!
Then, 12 CHS students got to compete against 12 students from Cascade Christian in a football toss down the football field and back....
Go Dallin!
C'mon Eagles!
YEAH! We won!
About 2 minutes left....Eagles are on top! Celebrations begin!
I missed Nate and Briar hugging by about 3 seconds. Darn!

Final Score - Connell 28, Cascade Christian 7

The Connell Eagles are the Washington State 1A Football Champions! They ended with a season record of 14-0. What an amazing ride! It was fun to follow, for sure. (Except for the games where we won by a ton and it's colder than cold!)
This picture's from the TC Herald. I love Michael kissing the golden football. Pretty much sums it up!
The team from Cascade Christian fought a good fight and ended their season 13-1, with this being their only loss. It was hard to see them after the game. They were devastated. Poor guys.



It was so fun to get to cheer on the Eagles throughout the season and then celebrate with them when they finally got their hands on that trophy! I'm so proud of them!
They worked so hard all season with this day as their goal. So so so excited for them!
School should be fun this week!!
