NCS FOOTBALL

TONIGHT THE DUBLIN GAELS,

WHO WERE THIRD IN THEIR LEAGUE,

PLAYED OAKLEY'S FREEDOM HIGH SCHOOL

IN THE NORTH COAST SECTION FINALS.

WE TRAVELED OUT TO OAKLEY EARLY TODAY
TO BEAT THE COMMUTE TRAFFIC.

THE CHEER LEADERS WERE THERE
TO CHEER THE TEAM ON.

THE TEAM DOES A LITTLE WARM UP BEFORE THE GAME,
AND WITH THE TEMPERATURE DIPPING INTO THE 40'S,
WE WERE READY TO JOIN THEM.
IN SPITE OF DUBLIN DOING THEIR BEST,
FREEDOM WON WITH A SCORE OF 37 TO 12.

REGARDLESS, IT WAS A GREAT SEASON,
AND WE ENJOYED WATCHING EVERY GAME!

MBL WATER POLO CHAMPIONSHIPS

WERE HELD IN MONTEREY TODAY.
SYDNEY AND THE REST OF THE LADY KNIGHTS
PLAYED SANTA CRUZ HIGH SCHOOL FOR FIRST PLACE.

SYDNEY WAS ALL OVER #22 ON THE OPPOSING TEAM.

WONDER IF SHE LIKES YOU
 BREATHING DOWN HER BACK, SYD?

MY BET IS,
 SHE DID HER BEST TO TRY TO GET AWAY FROM YOU.

GREAT GAME SYDNEY!

GREAT GAME MBL CHAMPION
LADY KNIGHTS,
WITH A WINNING SCORE OF
18 to 1

IT WAS A GREAT FOOTBALL SEASON

NOW WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO

WITH OUR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHTS???

DARYL SAYS, MAYBE NOT HAVE TO RECORD

HIS FAVORITE TV SHOWS.

THIS LAST WEEK OF FOOTBALL WAS AGAINST MIRAMONTE .  NO CAMERA, BUT TONIGHT WAS THE VARSITY GAME. UNTIL THE FOURTH QUARTER, MIRAMONTE WAS THE ONLY ONE TO SCORE.  COME FOURTH QUARTER DUBLIN CAME ALIVE AND MADE TWO TOUCHDOWNS.  NOT ENOUGH TO WIN THE GAME WITH A SCORE OF 29 TO 14, BUT NOT BAD AGAINST A TEAM THAT HAD ONLY LOST ONE GAME ALL SEASON. 

GREAT SEASON GABE!

GOOD LUCK NEXT YEAR

ONCE AGAIN 

ON THE VARSITY GAELS!

 THURSDAY WAS THE LAST

FRESHMAN FOOTBALL GAME,

ALSO AGAINST MIRAMONTE.

OUR # 51 PLAYED HARD,

HAD A GREAT GAME,

AND A GREAT SEASON!

THEY TOO LOST TO MIRAMONTE
WITH A SCORE NOT TO BE ASHAMED OF.

GREAT YEAR SAM!
GOOD LUCK NEXT YEAR
AS A JR. VARSITY GAEL

RAIN,

GLORIOUS RAIN!!!

IF THIS CONTINUES, IT JUST MIGHT BE
THE YEAR OF THE LAWN!

JUST IN

AFTER THE LAST POST, CRAIG SENT ME THIS.

THOUGHT IT DEFINITELY DESERVED A BLOG.

LOOKS LIKE SHARK LIV IS ABOUT TO EAT PATTY,
UNLESS LIFEGUARD CRAIG CAN SAVE HER.
LOVE THE COSTUMES.
I'M STILL LAUGHING!

HALLOWEEN IS FUN,

NO MATTER WHAT THE AGE.

THE GRANDKIDS ARE GROWING UP, AND CELEBRATING HALLOWEEN HAS CHANGED TOO.  THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR, IN I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW LONG, THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE A HALLOWEEN PARADE TO GO TO.  SAM SPENT HALLOWEEN NIGHT WITH SOME FRIENDS, BEING SCARED TO DEATH, AT GREAT AMERICA'S HALLOWEEN HAUNT.  GABE PROMISED SOPHIA HE'D GO OUT WITH HER, AND DID UNTIL COUSIN ELLE ARRIVED, AND TOOK HIS PLACE. THEN HE WAS OFF TO CELEBRATE WITH HIS FRIENDS.

SOPHIA, IN MIDDLE SCHOOL THIS YEAR,

WAS ABLE TO WEAR HER COSTUME TO SCHOOL.

THE ADVANTAGE OF CHANGING CLASSES,

SHE HAD PARTIES IN MANY OF THEM.

SHE ALWAYS PLANS HER OWN COSTUME,

AND THIS YEAR SHE DRESSED AS
DJ   PHIA.

ELISE AND GORDAN ALWAYS CELEBRATE WITH THE

 GRANDAUGHTERS THREE.

SHE SENT ME THIS ADORABLE PICTURE, WITH
SYDNEY AS A FLAPPER,
AND SHE WAS A GUMBALL MACHINE.
DARLING COSTUMES GIRLS!

AND THE WATER POLO GOES ON,

WITH THE SECOND DAY
OF SYDNEY'S TOURNAMENT.
IT WAS JUST AS EXCITING AS THE FIRST!

SHE HAD LOTS OF POSSESSIONS,

AND LOTS OF FACE OFFS.

WITH MY INFERIOR CAMERA, AND EVEN MORE INFERIOR PICTURE TAKING SKILLS, IT'S KIND OF POINT AND KEEP CLICKING, AND HOPE FOR THE BEST.  SOMETIMES I GET A SUCCESSION OF PICTURES THAT REALLY MAKE ME LAUGH.

THESE TWO DEFINITELY FALL IN

THAT CATEGORY.

IT SEEMS, SYDNEY PASSES THE BALL,

AND TURNS AROUND TO GIVE THIS GIRL A,,"SO THERE!"

AND SO THERE IT WAS,
WITH THE LADY KNIGHTS
WINNING THE GAME BY ONE POINT!

 AND NOW FOR

BOY'S WATER POLO.

GORDAN ALSO HAD A TOURNAMENT THIS WEEKEND.

 LIKE HIS COUSIN,

HE ALSO HAD MANY POSSESSIONS,


AND THIS HUMOROUS FACE OFF! 

I'M NOT SURE WHAT THIS GUY IS SCREAMING,

BUT FROM THE LOOK ON GORDAN'S FACE, (note the dimple, as he's smiling)
IT MUST BE AMUSING.
I BET THAT REALLLLY MADE THE OTHER GUY MAD!

I ALSO BET HE WAS EQUALLY AS MAD,
WHEN YOU, AS PAPA SAYS,
"KEPT HIM COVERED LIKE A BLANKET".

THEY DIDN'T WIN THAT GAME,

BUT STILL HAD ONE TO GO LATER IN THE DAY.

GO BALERS!!!
