game four... st. x

The three muskateers - they are three pretty awesome young men.
And they might just be beaming a little.

This week's game is home again - against another Catholic high school. But this time, it's St. Xavier, from Ohio. Yes, you read that right. I said O-hi-o. Last year, we traveled the four hours to their school so thankfully, this year was their turn to come to us. I'm quite serious when I say "thankfully".

Papa and Nana rarely miss a game.
In fact, Papa has rarely missed a home game since Colton
started playing high school football his freshman year. 

St. X is good. I mean they are really good. Like nationally ranked good. But we are good, too. And we are ranked nationally - not near as high as St. X - but we ARE somewhere in those rankings. Last year, they beat us. This year?? It went to DOUBLE OVERTIME
and then... oh yes, we DID...  4-0 baby! And just like that, we jumped WAY up in the national rankings. (Though I still can't tell you exactly where that puts us - please just be impressed that I know this much.) Watch the game winning touchdown here: http://youtu.be/hUr0QZyig-U

Cousins Kaycee and Dan Parker in from Union City for the game.
While watching the MS girls line up to take pictures with Colton
after the game, Kaycee commented that she felt like
she was back in Amarillo, watching Cayce after an AHS game.

The highlight of this game, however, wasn't our win (though that was pretty super fantastic). The highlight for me was seeing Dawson back on the field - not in uniform, but on the sidelines... encouraging and leading his team. It's good to have you back Big D - #1 QB you'll always be.

Oh, and did I already mention... 4-0 baby.
