Raiders

November 15, 2023

Spencer was a Raider this year. His team was a bit of an unknown at the beginning of the season because we just didn’t know a few of the kids on his team but…man, it turned out to be a great season! He had the absolute best team of young guy coaches that were so committed – 6 coaches that all showed up to every single practice and game! He had a fantastic group of boys that really worked together and got along. Of course, the Raiders were the luckiest because they had the best QB in the league – Spencer Brown!

Had a little bit of a bum ankle for part of the season but he fought through.

They had a winning season – only lost 2 games and ended the season as REGULAR SEASON CHAMPS! Woohoo!! They lost once to the Bills and then got blown out once by the Saints. No one is quite sure what happened in that Saints game but I know why they lost – I was out of town. Spencey just didn’t play as well without me cheering him on from the sidelines! ha! Overall it was such a fun season with way more Ws than Ls!

The best part was watching Spencer step up and be a leader on his team. He’s so poised on the field and never gets frazzled. He made some amazing completed passes this season which is pretty rare for 5th grade. He called the plays and motivated his team and was just generally awesome all season. So so proud of him.

The Raiders had an easy win over the Saints in the first round of the playoffs and then beat the Vikings in the second round to make it to the Super Bowl!

Football

November 13, 2023

Maxwell played on the 7th grade football team at the Junior High and what a great experience it was for him.

It was a long season of hard work, frustration, perseverance, and payoff! They started practice last summer in the hot, hot June and July days. They continued every single day after school. Maxwell worked his tail off – and sweated his tail off too! He earned the respect of his coaches and teammates.

The team only won one game – but it wasn’t about winning. It was about learning how to be a Spartan!

Of course I was there for every game in my colors with my fellow Spartan fans!

Some of the matchups were pretty funny – this game with Maxwell facing off with a kid who was legitimately 6’5 was interesting to watch! ha!

Maxwell started the season as second string corner back – had a frustrating middle of the season bump down to 3rd string – but then ended the final games as first string!! He even got an interception in the last game of the season. Fantastic!! Love these pics of the celebration after the interception!

I am incredibly proud of his dedication and how he just kept putting in the work. It all paid off for him and I can’t wait to continue to watch him play football for years to come!

Veterans Day

November 10, 2023

We celebrated Veterans Day at school on Wednesday with the very best performance by the 5th grade. I was in charge of the program this year and was so proud of how it all turned out. GJ was still in town on Tuesday when they did the school performance for the other students so we snuck in and watched.

Spencer presented the colors in his scout uniform and then also had a speaking part at the very beginning of the performance which he totally nailed!
