Getting Ready for Game Day!

It was an afternoon of hair dying today! Boys went from red, white, blond, and brown to BLACK! All in the sake of a football game...the Championship Football Game to be exact.

Pictured: Dyrel, Michael, Kade, Bryant, Briar, Chandler and Shane. Not pictured: Kraymer and Scott (and we sent a dye box home for Matt!) GO get'em Eagles.

VICTORY!!!

Today the Connell Eagles took on the Chelan Goats.....and well, the last picture says it all!!

Yes, Marcie, these are cheerleader pictures!! Go C-H-S!!

Defense coming to the field...led by seniors Scott Borgens (54) and Michael Casper (51)!!

Warm ups...

Handshakes...

The crowd.

The introductions.

The first of 4 (I think) touchdowns by Matt Hadley!

An extra point by Ivan Barragan.

The Goats with their first possession.

Downhill for them from here on out.

Running backs, Whitby and Hadley!

Katelyn. LOTS to be cheering about!!

3 of the offensive lineman for Chelan weigh over 800 pounds, combined. That's a lot of hard work for our guys....they did their job and contained Chelan's running game. Good job to the lineman...too often times, not enough credit given to these guys. One more game Connell, and all your hard work will pay off!!!

Brianna.

Chandler getting a bandaid on his nose.

Rushing yards. Matt had 241 of them for the game.

Be careful Nate!!

Go, Alan!!

The Defense-to-Offense switch.

Martinez to Whitby.

Martinez to Hadley.

TOUCHDOWN!!!

Handoff to Anderson.

Chelan Defensive Line.

Scottie.

Michael.

Shoulder ride.

Here comes the blitz!!

Michael getting a hand on the quarterback's throw!! GOOD JOB!!!

Extra point.....GOOD!!

Special Teams coming off the field.

Anderson after the quarterback. That quarterback was a great athlete. He got many a pass off after it looked like he was going down.

Briar on Special Teams for an on-side kick recovery.

This 6'5" wide receiver from the Goats was tall....he got balls right out of the air ABOVE our Brady. Thank goodness he didn't get but a few!!

That's game!!

Chelan had a huge Tailgate Party going before the game. They brought the spectators (although NOT as many as we did!!). I am told that this was their first time for getting this far...they did well but just weren't up to beating us today!!!

That scoreboard says: Home 14.....Guest 37!!

Tacoma Dome bound......Yeah, Eagles!!! You guys rock!!
