A couple of weeks ago the boys marched in the Stratton homecoming parade. Ryan's 6th grade band was wearing the uniforms that we used to wear in high school. Kids are so much bigger today than they were back then that the uniforms don't fit the high school kids anymore. (Tyler was okay with that!) The high school band also marched. Tyler is part of an amazing drum line! Sometimes he plays snare and sometimes he plays bass. Since I last updated, the football team has had it's ups and downs. The JV team is still playing really well. They did lose to Colby, but the C team turned around a beat them. The Varsity on the other hand hasn't been so fortunate. So far this year they beat Lamar, lost to Wray, lost to Akron, lost to Holyoke and then lost to Calhan! We are not used to losing so we were thinking that this wasn't that much fun. Finally Cripple Creek came to town - for homecoming - and we beat them 48-0! Tyler saw his first action at the varsity level. Most of the freshmen played in the fourth quarter. They even scored! Then last night we traveled to Peyton and took on the Panthers. The field was literally in the middle of a pasture and it was cold!!!!! It started out 6-0 Peyton, but then we scored to make it 7-6. About half way through the second quarter we found our bearings and we played awesome football. We ran the ball really well, we caught the ball, our defense was amazing, and the line played their best game of the season. We ended up winning 22-6. It was so fun! The crowd was really into it. It made being so cold seem not quite so bad.
Next Saturday we travel to Byers. I can hardly wait!
