Homecoming

27 October found us in the football stands cheering for Jamin as he played in his first homecoming game. What fun we had!!!

Jamin played all but about 5 minutes of the game. The coach put in his second string for most of the game and the boys still won 68-21. TLC “45” River City. Games are stopped in 6 man football when one team is 45 points ahead.

We were amazed at Jamin. He caught passes, made interceptions, knocked numerous big looking opponents to the ground and even made a touchdown…. I wish I knew football to tell you what he played. He kicked the ball quite a few times, does that help? I’ve heard terms like “safety” thrown out. I know that he was usually in the back row and charged to the front to knock the man with the ball on his backside. Mike said he was like a “heat seeking missile”. Unfortunately, our Nikon D70 quit working at the game and we have no pictures. The boys have one more game tonight and I’ll take the “normal” Nikon as the digital is in New York City seeing the home of it’s birth and getting a check up.

It is unsure if the boys will be playing in the play offs. They won a team that was the champs last year, and that left the coach a bit perturbed. This coach is in charge of scheduling the play off games. TLC is a 1A school….he put them playing a 3A school in their first game. His team doesn’t even play the 3A teams. Our coach originally said they would not play the 3A teams as they would get hurt but now he is saying they “may”. As far as we know tonight (3 November 2005) is the last game they will play.

Another bit of homecoming trivia…..our gas was siphoned while we cheered in the stands. We need to buy a locking gas cap.
