.football playoff game @ Cle Elum.

The first playoff game was at Cle Elum against Cle Elum last night. Road trips are fun with this group – and even though it was a LONG trip, the girls made it go by fast and it was fun. We left right after school and stopped in Ellensburg for dinner.

Self portraits and Starbucks = good road trip!

There were no outlets in the bathroom at McDonald’s…so what’s a girl to do? Hang out in the hallway, of course!

When we got to Cle Elum, it was raining…which was SUCH a bummer because the girls had prepared an awesome stunt sequence. I told them if it stopped raining during the 2nd quarter, they could do the dance with the stunt. Here they are praying for the rain to stop. :)

Those pretty senior girls!

Their names are on their hoods – and they looked so funny doing this!

    

The girls’ prayers were answered and the rain stopped, so they were able to do their dance!

Right as they were getting ready to go on the field to perform, a streaker ran by. Yes, you read that correctly – a STREAKER! It was the craziest thing I’ve seen! The poor girls were shocked and surprised (as were the rest of us) and totally traumatized!

 

Unfortunately, the music got screwed up and the wrong song was played.

 

They were able to do the stunt sequence at the beginning, but the end ripples were messed up!

Kick Line….the trademark of the 2012 Football squad!

 

Even though it didn’t work out like we had planned, I’m proud of the girls for keeping their composure & being professional. They are awesome!

     

Heather got a group shot of us! :)

Unfortunately, the football team just couldn’t keep up with Cle Elum and we lost, ending the season. We were so disappointed – especially the seniors, of course.

On Monday at school, one of the girls at school said, “I don’t know why your season has to revolve around the football team. You don’t suck!”

It was a bummer for the season to come to an end so much earlier than we are used to…this was such a stellar and special squad that I really was disappointed the season was over so soon. Usually I’m ready for the season to be over, but I could’ve hung out with these girls for much longer!

.football at wahluke.

The game on Friday was against Wahluke…the drive to Mattawa is NOT my favorite by far, but luckily it wasn’t raining too hard on our way there, so not as bad as it could’ve been.

This picture is from earlier in the day – after third period all these girls happened to stop by my office at the same time. I never knew this many people could fit in my office at once!!

Marie, Madi, Joanna, me, MarciAnne, Kayla, Grayson, and Kody (Sommer is taking the picture)

We had a cold evening in Mattawa – but the boys played well and we won 47-0. That’s the way we like it!

 

The girls did a great job rallying and cheering – something we’ve been working on all season, it seems!

 

Hard to believe our season is almost over! Wahluke was our last regular season game and next week we’ll be at Cle Elum in our first post-season game.

 

These two are photo hogs! :)

   

Sommer stitched these pictures together – looks pretty great! I love CHS with poms…it’s one of my favorite things they do!

The girls will be working on another dance this week – which would make 6 for the season, so far. Pretty impressive!

.team pics.

Back in September, Dorians came to take the team football & cheer pictures as well as individual pictures.

The football boys invited the girls to be in their team picture – I thought that was so nice of them!

The seniors wanted to take a picture together - turned out so cute!!

 

 

(I took these from behind the showcase glass – so the girls’ has a nice glass line down it. Dang.)

The cheerleaders got to have their boxes in their pictures! SO FUN!
Such a beautiful group of girls I get to work with!

 

.homecoming football game vs. Riverview.

What a cold and windy night – not the best for watching a football game!

We got to have a little photo shoot before the game. The girls got super cute Homecoming shirts, although it was a little too cold to not wear a jacket!

 

I love the back of them!

Kirston always has to freak out in the picture!!!

 

So everyone else joined in… :)

I was trying to get one good picture to use to make Thank You notes out of…and Kirston has to dork out in another picture!!

PHEW! Finally got one! Look how cute they are!

Their halftime performance was to “Call Me Maybe” – thus, the "CALL ME” sign! :)

 

Posers!

Not only was it Homecoming, but it was Senior Night too!

 

Kayla & Selena have been cheerleaders for 4 years…Madi & Sommer have been cheerleaders for 3 years.

 

I am going to miss them SO much next year. I can’t even remember cheer without them!

 

They make me laugh every day (and pull my hair out some days!). I have loved getting to share this experience with them!

 

The juniors!

Senior Night!
Madi & Janae

  

The Benson’s – Heather, Eric, & Kayla

 

The Garcia’s – Arnie, Selena, & Crystal

 

The Boyd’s – Melinda, Sommer, Steve, & Liz

 

Sommer & Madi were the captains for the night! The seniors have been taking turns as captains. I think it’s worked out fairly well!

 

And my favorite cheer: Ola Ola AY! :)

 

They had a rockin’ halftime performance! I was soooo proud of them! They worked really hard all week, including an early morning practice, to perfect this awesome routine.

The opening stunt was a double basket toss, barrel roll to an extension show and go. YEAH!

 

Plus a kick line – a favorite of this squad!

 

 

Madi flew an arabesque to extension – I love that!

 

YES!!! Fantastic routine!

The royalty was presented at halftime -

Here’s Carly & Garrett as the junior prince and princess.

  

Stayin’ classy!

  

The Senior King and Queen: Carlos & Jenni

 

The Senior Prince & Princess: Stefan and MarciAnne

 

The actual football game didn’t fare so well….we lost to Riverview, 33-0. Jennifer told me that it’s the first time since 1999 that we’ve lost to Riverview. Sad day.
