Braves Win First Down Classic

The Ottawa Braves defeated the McKendree Bearcats (or Bear Rats as Shelby liked to call them) by a score of 31-21. Brenton spent the game in the press box, assisting the defensive coordinator, but Shelby wanted to see her "other brothers" so she made the trek with me to Platte City. It was a really good game, with Ottawa leading the entire game (the Bearcats mounted a comeback, but it was too little, too late). Ethan Haller threw for 4 touchdowns and 437 yards (he is so fun to watch). Bill Rasmussen (the founder of ESPN) presented Ethan with the offensive player of the game award and Coach K with the First Down Classic Trophy. Shelby has decided she really likes college football. Go Braves!
