Back For A Replay....First Weekend Of December In Tacoma

Yesterday the Connell Eagles beat up on the Omak Pioneers 55-21. The day started out with snow falling....so beautiful! It was cold when we got up but managed to get to about 32 degrees by gametime (4:00 p.m. at Lampson Field in Kennewick). The Kamiakin Braves beat Capital in the game prior to ours. Go Braves! People came dressed in snow pants and heavy coats, lugging in blankets and hot chocolate. The stands were packed with lots of Connell fans. Omak had its share also, but I bet they were wishing they were back at home. Not to take anything away from Omak, they were a good football team, just not good enough to come close to Connell. The win makes for a repeat of last year in the Tacoma Dome next Saturday, at 10:0 a.m. (Cascade Cristian beat Meridian 21-0.) By the end of the game my feet were frozen! The wind stayed away, thank goodness. The drive home was slow due to the heavy fog....the temp a mere 18 degrees! LOVE WINTER!!!! Go Eagles!! Time for another State Championship!!! Go Eagles!

A Walk In The Winter Wonderland...

I took my camera outside in the fog and white this morning. It stayed foggy the whole day. Love webs that have frozen.

Had some company. All 3 of the cats followed me.

One Fall Day....

Paxton offered to let me get some photographs of her a couple of Sunday's ago...and I jumped at the opportunity. Here are a few of my favorites:

You are beautiful!

Football vs Chelan

Saturday at Moses Lake the Eagles beat the Chelan Goats. It was a repeat of last year, with the same results. Here are some pictures from the game:

It takes a lot of Goats to get Bryant down.

This Morning & This Afternoon

Well, yesterday it was snowing in the morning....technically. There was NO accumulation, but snow was coming down from the sky so it was snowing. Let me tell you......last night the snow got down to business!! Woke up to a 2 hour delay this morning, and by 5:30 p.m. there has already been a 2 hour delay called for tomorrow.

This is my patio before I left for work:

This is my patio tonight at around 7:30.

LOVE the snow....the wind...not so much. It is howling out there right now. There is a snow warning in effect right now for our area until 7:00 a.m. tomorrow. They are calling for 3-7 more INCHES of the white stuff! Got my fingers crossed!!

NOW it feels like Winter!!

This morning the wind is blowing out of the north, therefore, it is freezing outside.....AND,it is Snowing!!! Ever so slightly, but there is SNOW coming out of the sky!! YEAH!!!!!

Everyone Wins!

Everyone wins this weekend, and I only have this one picture to show for it, and only because Briar texted me it after the game! Thanks.

The Eagle football team took on the Naches Valley Rangers Friday night in Connell. Unfortunately for Naches it wasn't much of a game. The quarterback, #18 - Christopher Walker, is a hometown Connell kid.....at least his mom and dad are alumni of CHS! He did well, but just not good enough against a great CHS football team. The Eagles came to prove a point and it was well made. The final score was 58-6. Next game: Saturday, 1:00 p.m. at Connell High School vs. Hoquiam. LONG drive for the Hoquiam kids, hopefully an even longer drive home.

The Lady Eagle volleyball team took FIRST in the District Tournament yesterday in Ki-Be. The tournament started Tuesday night at Connell against the Goldendale Timberwolves. The Eagles took the first 3 games. Saturday at noon they took on the #2 Naches Valley Rangers. It took 3 games to send them into the championship game, set for 4:00 against the Zillah Leopards. The Eagles DOMINATED the Leopards and took 3 games from them rather easily. FUN! FUN! FUN! Connell had a terrific hometown crowd that came to support them. That gymnasium was rocking....all for (well, mostly all) the CHS girls. After the second game all the parents gave the girls a standing ovation....the girls were on the court looking mighty happy. It was fun. One more tournament ladies....go get that State Title!!!!!!!

Last night at Hoquiam, the Columbia Basin Hawks took on the GreenRiver team for the Northwest Community College Football League Championship. They beat them 16-6, in the pouring down rain, for the title. I can't wait for Briar to wake up so I can get all the details. Good job boys!!

What a weekend. We sound a little big-headed, but OH WELL!!
