Rylan's Eighth Grade Football Season
The middle school sports seasons were all adjusted to be played March thru May.
There was no basketball season so Ry surprised us by announcing he had decided to try football.
After the first week of practice Ry told me he didn't mind football, but didn't want to tackle or get tackled...ha ha.
No team picture this year so a coach took this after a game.
I dropped him off at practice one day on a Friday that they didn't have school.
He told me to wait and he'd show me his practice uniform.
He had two total games, one vs. Chelan and one vs. Cascade.
They won both of them, and was never scored on.
Ry was the kicker. Thank God for soccer because he was pretty good.
On the sidelines at his first game.
We were a little surprised at the size of some of the boys.
A super win, 46-0
And awesome for the kicker because he gets to kick off after all of those touchdowns :)
I picked him up from practice after the first game and he had been one of the boys selected as player of the game.
These were hung up around the school.
At the second game vs. Chelan
Logan was with us for this game.
I wish I knew who the photographer is that took these nice photos and forwarded them on to another parent who happens to work in the hospital and knows Dave. He knew that Dave's son was the kicker.
Side story: The high school football coach made a visit at the end of the school year and spoke with all of the 8th graders to encourage them to come out for high school football.
He asked each of the players for their position.
Rylan told him that he was the kicker, and the coach told him, "usually the kicker will play something else, like maybe wide receiver or tight end", and Ry responded, "just the kicker".
Presley's Junior Year Golf Season
Presley's 2021 Junior Golf Season
The COVID-19 shutdown in March 2020 meant no high school spring sports.
It very much affected Logan's senior soccer season and Presley's sophomore golf season.
But, golf courses were actually one of the first recreational activities to open up and Presley started taking golf lessons in June 2020. She continued through summer and fall, and picked up again in March 2021.
By this time, Washington State had okay'ed high school sports, each for a shorter 7 week session with limited travel.
February/March was the fall sports.
April/May was the spring sports
May/June was the winter sports.
We are so grateful to have had any season at all, and that the spring was so mild that weather issues did not cause any issues.
Dave was able to watch her quite a few times.
Her first match was at Gamble Sands.
She placed 2nd on her team and 4th overall.
We were able to watch her play in Ephrata one afternoon.
Dave normally walked along with her but this time we rented a cart.
Presley walked over to one of the tournament moderators and told him that she had forgotten her pitching wedge at the last hole, so he allowed Dave to drive back and look for it.
This is him delivering it to her (and probably trying to sneak a few words of encouragement or advice to her).
I texted Bob and Dave a video of your swing that Dad texted to me.
And Tricia texted me one time during your season too.
Presley and her golf teammates
At the end-of-the-season team party, Presley was voted Most Inspirational and Team Captain for next year.
She had a really great season, and we're looking forward to her senior golf season.
