Jamboree!
I know hardly anyone knows what Jamboree is - it is a showcase game that is 30 minutes long that is played the week before the real season games begin. We had ours Saturday night.
First let me lead up to it ...
It was Paul's birthday and he was suppose to take all the kids for the day. He got in Friday evening and was suppose to come get Christian first thing in the morning for Paint Ball. Then he was to get the rest of the kids directly after ballet and take them all swimming. Well, he didn't pick up Christian until 1:45. He didn't come to get the other kids until 5:45 which left Toree with no time to go swimming because of the game. He told her he would get them again tomorrow and she could swim then. She was alright with that.
So she and I left here at 6:15 to get to Norcross by 7:00 as we had to stop and grab some nail polish remover before the game. Let me tell ya, the parking was horrendous! Alright it was only horrendous because it was so far from the park and I really shouldn't have been moving as much as I was.
Cemetary Field is an awful place to cheer. It is a tiny, tiny field and the only way to effectively watch the game is either go to the home side and sit in their tall stands, stand up on the top row of the visitor stands, or stand at the fence behind the cheerleaders. I was really looking forward to some football so I was a little disappointed. They had some really good plays and I was proud of our boys but I mainly "watched" the game through the announcer! One play that stands out is when the home team ran some 60-70 yards and was tackled at the 1 yard line where our boys held them for three more plays! I was up out of my seat for that just like everyone else on our side!!!
Our girls did a really good job compared to what they act like in practice. Granted there are still some things to work on, but overall we were proud considering what we were expecting! I am especially proud of Toree because everyone is expecting her to become a high school cheerleader. If this is the group she will be competing against, then yes that baby will definitely be cheering in high school!!!
So what was the final score?? --- Well the first game we won 14 - 6. Then we had a second game (so basically we wound up playing a whole game since the 30 minute games are two quarters each). The second game we won 12 - 0 ! We were so excited because these boys have such a hard time winning games. Maybe they are maturing OR maybe they have a really good coach (most of these boys have been playing together since they were in 1st grade!).
We are all hoping this is just a peek at what is to come - we really need a winning team!
