Sad Day.......

Well, the season is officially over for the CLC Raiders. They lost today 27-26. It was sad news to hear. We are very proud of the team! They had a wonderful season and accomplished things that no other Raider team has ever done. They beat Rochester as mentioned in an earlier post. That was the first time in school history. Also a first for some of the coaches who played them back when they were on the team. As, depressing as it is, it will be nice to have my husband around in the evenings more. It has been tough on the girls to have him gone so much, especially Megan who really only saw him for about 1/2 hour in the morning and evening.

I have gotten the privilege of getting to know a few of the players better this year. I look forward to Thursday nights for the rest of the school year when they join us for a home cooked meal and Bible Study. They are a great group of men and I will miss the sophmores after the school year is over, but look forward to the freshmen coming back next year and bringing new players along with them. It has been a tremendous blessing to have them around. The girls really enjoy it!

We did have a nice visit with the Medeck's this morning. Alison, Jackson and Lexi came over to visit and have lunch while the dads were at the game. It was nice to spend time with them away from the football field and look forward to having more visits from them. It is tough to get together during football, but the winter months are upon us soon and we will all have cabin fever and be ready to talk to someone other than the people that live in our homes with us.

So, to end this, Congrats to all of you Raider football players. You had one heck of a season and for you freshmen, now you know what you have to do next year!! It is always bittersweet when the season comes to an end when you are a 'coaches wife', but I will miss the home games on Saturdays! God Bless all of you!
