Ottawa 62 Bethel 23

Great football last weekend when the Ottawa Braves beat up on the Bethel Threshers (I was amazed to discover that the mascot is not a bird, but a piece of farm equipment - odd).  I watched Brenton's girlfriend, Cady, play softball in Ottawa, and then made the trek to Newton, KS (yes, the van did make it there - surprise).  Poor Cady played 25 innings of softball and then drove to Newton, making it right after half-time.  The Braves scored so fast (and so often) the outcome was never in doubt.  Next up - McPherson - pumped after a huge win over Friends.  Should be a very tough game.  Keep your fingers crossed!!!

First Band Performance of 2010

The Rompin, Stompin, Raider Band took to the field for their first performance of this season's half-time show, Jekyll & Hyde.  The weather was very wet with a steady mist throughout, but the band sounded great. Shelby is the section leader for the "pit" and they were of course wonderful.  My P.E.O. sister, Michelle Wilson's daugher, Emma, is the co-captain of the Pacesetter dance team and it was great seeing her perform as well.  The show looks very complex so it will be interesting to see how they do at competition (I NEVER agree with the judges - except for the year we won it all).  Will keep you posted.
