End of the Season

We'll start with Chelsey. Last night she competed in a city meet and came in first place in JV. She sometimes vaults varsity, but she really isn't good enough, but she is all they have. They had her do JV last night because they knew she would do better there. After a season of frustration, she finally made 8 feet!! Unfortunately, I wasn't there to see her and neither was her coach. Luckily her grandma showed up and got to support her on her triumph. She has one more meet next week and then she is done. She got a first place medal and title of City champ for last nights meet. Yeehaw Chelsey!

Stephen had his championship game tonight. He started at third base and played the whole game there. His first at bat he got a hit but wasn't fast enough to not get thrown out at first. He struck out his next two at bats. He pulled his head like crazy! I kept my camera out trying to get a great action shot, but there wasn't a whole lot of that. He made an amazing catch at third. I couldn't have captured it if I had tried. Line drive and he jumped up, stuck his glove out and got it. He admits there was a lot of luck involved, but he caught it and it was very exciting. They were tied going in to the 9th inning. The other team scored one and then we didn't. Bummer. It was a great game though, the perfect way to go out. His coach got thrown out of the game. He almost gets thrown out every game. I really don't care for him. Terrible example. Not to mention, he is the teacher that "dismissed" me when I was having the issue with Dalin. But whatever, the season is over and they took second place. Stephen is pretty much a shoo in as a starter next season. Great job Stephen!





This is the trophy they DIDN'T win.


Someone caught a fly then threw to third for the double play.
