Well Friday night we called a game in West Arkansas, the home team was ranked high in the state polls and the visitors haven't won a game in several years, kind of reminded me of the Electra Tigers teams of the mid-6o's to the early 70's, where victories were few and far between but we always showed alot of heart. The score for our game Friday night was 37-0 and we were on the "mercy clock" before the end of the first half. The second half was scoreless and was considered a victory by the losing team. Those boys showed a lot of heart and never just threw in the towel.
The home school knew how to take care of their referees and and the visiting school. When we arrived for the game they had steak, mIashed taters, green beans and they topped it off cake and from what I understand the visiting school was also fed by the home school; not bad for hospitality. The school was about 2 and a half hours away, which meant I didn't make it to the bed until around 1:30 a.m.. Which leads me to my next problem which was getting up early today in order to make it to the first of three grandchildren's soccer games.
Soccer went great today and cost PaPaw a total of $4.00 before the morning was done. Landry was first with 3 goals scored, followed by Skylar and 3 goals, and finished off with Dallas and 7 goals. Yep, it's not a typo 13 total goals scored by the Rowland grandbabies!! What a day!!

Our high school lost 41-0. It would have been 42-0, but the visiting team missed a PAT. I was about to throw down with one lady in the stands. She and her son both were being soooo ugly! At one point she screamed at them to get their heads out of their *** and play ball. I was like, they're just kids, stop hollering at them like that.
I bet the soccer games were worth getting up for - you can always take a nap later.
