2012 Football Banquet

Tim and I travelled to Ottawa, KS to attend our last OU Braves Football Banquet.  Boy, how time has flown by - it seems like yesterday I was sitting in the parent orientation meeting.  We watched the highlight film (yes, we got to see Brenton), had our last cafeteria meal (somehow it never gets better), and then the coaches introduced the seniors one by one.  Coach Homolka said wonderful things about our boy - "teams don't win without players like Brenton."  All the seniors got to make a speech (I was a tad nervous about that as a few inappropriate things were discussed at 920 S. Cedar) but Brenton was quite gracious.  After the senior introductions, the awards were given out.  Imagine our surprise when the Thomas Trigg Award was given to our own Brenton Byrnes.  The award is for best sportsmanship and the most inspirational player on and off the field.  Brenton has had a wonderful college football experience - we are so very proud of him.  More pictures will follow when Cady gets me the ones she took.
