Game 6 and 7

Wow what a slacker I am!!!

By my lack of football updates you might think Cody's football team lost a game,

I DON'T THINK SO!!!

The mighty Monsoon remains UN-defeated!!!

Game 6 was another blow out 31-0. Cody had his usual stellar performance on defense, and played QB in the second half. The leagues "run rule" limits your scoring to 34 points over what your opponent scores, so the second half was pretty boring.

Game 7 was a different story, A hard fought battle from the very start, back and forth with no scoring until we took it to the house late in the fourth quarter. Then our defense held against their last ditch effort to seal the victory 6-0.

Now on to the last regular season game against another UN-defeated team and then on to the playoffs!!!!

I'll keep you posted...

Devan makes Quarter finals

Devan received notice late last week she is a quarter finalist in the FTF Teen Travel scholarship program put on by BIGO (Before I get old)

Also some cool pics from her trip to Japan.

First Orchestra Concert

Last night was Devan's first concert for the 2008-2009 season.

These kids are so good, it was an awesome show!! The level of musicianship is truly amazing. These players obviously put in a lot of hard work to achieve the awesome level at which they play. Dad broke out the "Fear the Violas" T-shirt, we are going to have some fun this year. The orchestra is usually so prim and proper, but Senior year means no holds barred. We will probably wait until the very end to really let go, don't want Dev to get into too much trouble!!!

Game 5

WOW!!!

What else can I say??

Another hard fought victory for the mighty Monsoon. 24-0

This week our boys had their best overall performance for the entire game so far this season.

Cody is so solid, his leadership and top level play continue to help power the team toward the season goal of returning to the state championship game. Cody had some nice long runs on offense, and even played Quarterback for a series, but of course his defensive play was the highlight of his day. Onward to next week and another tough opponent...

Game 4

Monsoon rolls!!!

Another victory, Much harder won this week though.

Our first away game was a much better test of the team. The boys were a little flat again ( I think it is partly the heat, still over 100 degrees) but they managed to pull it together and come away with a 23-6 win.

Cody had his usual top shelf performance, no touch downs this week, but several nice plays on offense, and led the defense with multiple tackles and some super nice hits!!!

Next week back home again for yet another tough opponent, the also undefeated Ironmen of Mesa Eastern...
