Shorewood hasn't historically had a winning football team. Like really ever. But they had a good solid season this year. They qualified for the playoffs, beating a really good team in an awesome game. Then they won their pigtail game (into the playoffs) against an undefeated team. They lots their first round game, but they played a really good team. Derek learned a lot and had a good time coaching. He just loves working with athletes, coaching them up, helping them improve. And...it may have worked for recruiting for wrestling too. He had 40 kids at the first unofficial open mat. Wow. He gets just 2 weeks in between wrestling and football. But I think he's ready to go. It was fun to watch Libby and the drill team dance during the 1/2 time performances. And the best part of the season was the awesome weather. We only had two cold games (one wet), and neither was awful. That's perfect for a fair weather fan like me.
Libby had a NASTY cold/cough/fever that hung on for 2 weeks before they final gave her some antibiotics. She managed to make enough drill practices to be able to perform at all the games (for better or for worse--we kept thinking she'd be better.)
Thankfully she's much better because the first drill comp is next Saturday!

| We got to the game against Cascade just as the 1/2 time show was ending (since we were practicing face painting at the YW activity.) So I got this quick pic as the girls finished their dance. |
