It is good that I like sports. This year has been a fun-filled successful year for sports all across the board from college football to 3-Year old tee-ball.
Peyton had a spring and fall season this year with Hardin Simmons at Brownwood with 16 games - 6 in the spring and 10 in the fall. Our average day was 14 hours. The farthest we went was Sul Ross in Alpine. We did go on to Big Bend country- a place checked off my bucket list. I did search for the Marfa Lights. We did visit Terlingua. The Davis Observatory was still closed because of covid. Peyton had a great season getting defensive player of the year.
Cade started the year with basketball. He was the point guard and very fun to watch. Next we went to baseball. The Gunter Tigers did not disappoint. They made it all the way to the final four at Dell Diamond - State playoffs. We lost the first game. During playoffs the team got in pitching trouble, and the coach put Cade in to finish the game. He did awesome, so he became a closing pitcher at the end of the season. The Gunter Tigers also made it to the state playoff game at AT&T Stadium or better known as Jerry's World. We lost to Franklin which was a better team than us. We did play with them for three quarters. We were 15-0 going into the game. We had to beat Holiday and Roosevelt to get there. Canadian got beat out this year. Until the last game we never had a close game.
Anja and Isabel played spring soccer. So Rick and I did a road trip to Nashville to see soccer games. It was a rainy day, but good times. (Diana and I also flew back to Nashville in May to see Anja graduate from Kindergarten.
Cali played volleyball and basketball, as well as, participating in track and field events.
Last Fitz and Evans had their debut with sports with soccer. Chad signed up Fitz for 3-year old soccer with him being the coach, which ended up him coaching two teams. The last game of the year Fitz was sick. Since he did not have enough players, he put Fitz's suit on Evans and let her out on the field to fill a spot.
Take Me out to the Ballgame, Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks.....
Forget the peanuts and Cracker Jacks, just keep me in plenty of Diet Cokes and sunscreen.
