Yesterday Jag’s team won both games again! We left around 12:30 after making it to the gym, stopping at the grocery store, dropping Ty at the mountain and Jag at school, to catch the bus. We made it to the western burbs of Grand Junction around 2:30, about 5 minutes after the buses arrived. We sent the boys off with a bunch of power bars and Gatorade’s and Lori made two giant pans of Rice Krispie treats, which they devoured and loved.
We played a Charter School that had half the town turn out. Besides Lori and I there were only three other parents from our school. The home team had the school band in the stands too. They were scrappy but no match for our height and full court press which really caused them problems. Jag again played great scoring in both games and frustrating his guy when he was on defense. He gets more playing time in JV but is one of the first guys off the bench to spell one of the two big seniors on Varsity. His coaches say “he’s getting better and better every game”, which is true. You could tell though, all the kids were tired. It’s good we have today off.
After the game Jag wanted to ride home on the bus to celebrate with his team. So around 6:45 pm Lori and I headed home. About two hours later we pulled into Minturn. Ty meanwhile was at a movie after skiing all day long. I picked him up at 9:45 and then we had to drive to school and wait about 30 minutes for Jag to arrive on the bus. In the end, Lori and I drove a little over 300 miles round trip.
Today Ty wants to hit the mountain again while I’m sure Jag will sleep in until around noon, then rest some more before hopefully cleaning his room. We need to wash his uniforms for tomorrow and Tuesdays games. We play Sorocco tomorrow which is near Steamboat. Not sure if I’ll make it but we’ll see.
Did you hear about the false alarm of a nuclear missile attack in Hawaii, unbelievable. People thought they were going to die. They abandoned their cars on the highways, called their loved ones to tell them goodbye and more. I can’t imagine what they went through. I also can’t believe this could happen due to one guy hitting the “wrong” button, WOW. Thankfully it was a mistake. Imagine if you received news that a nuclear missile attack was inbound to your town, what would you do?
Time to head to the gym so that’s it for today. Have a great day. Today the two good football games are on which should be fun. God Bless.
