…football state–first round…check….

Yesterday (that’s right – Saturday), Connell played in the first round of the 1A State Championships against Hoquiam. Thank goodness we earned the privilege of hosting instead of having to travel all that way.

It was pretty chilly for being a 1pm game. The steady breeze did not help at all.

The cheerleaders had been working all week to perfect this stunt routine for the starting line up. We’d tried it a few weeks ago and it did not work – so we needed to try again! This time they did much better!

One of the most exciting parts of the game was the debut of the new Eagle mascot! The class of 2010 donated the remainder of their money toward it and cheer pitched in the rest. It arrived this week and we were all pretty excited!

The girls did their dance again this week. When they performed it last week, it wasn’t as good as it could’ve been, so they decided to do it again. Good choice! They did it great this time! I recorded it and Melissa took pictures – so you have both!

(Hello again to Mr. Green Jacket. SERIOUSLY??)

The boys played hard yesterday and won the game, 56-14.

We move on to the quarterfinals now – we’ll play Chelan, but not sure where or when yet. We’ve already played and beat Chelan this year, so hopefully we can beat ‘em again!
