The Bland Clan: 2008 6-MAN DIV II STATE CHAMPIONS !!

Okay...If some of you have been living under a rock lately...THE BORDEN COUNTY COYOTES ARE THE 2008 6-MAN DIV II STATE CHAMPIONS !!! I am soooo proud of each and everyone of our boys. They played their hearts out and never gave up. They defeated the Woodson Cowboys Saturday afternoon in Wolfforth 54-8. Not only did they win..they 45'ed Woodson with 4:17 left to go in the game. In doing so...they managed to set a record for the fewest points allowed in a state game. The lowest number previously allowed was 12 points back in 1973 !! TRULY AMAZING !!!!

The Borden County Christmas Basketball tournament was this weekend also. It had to be cut down to two days instead of three because of the football game. The girls defeated Southland Thursday morning then turned around and defeated Wilson Thursday afternoon. On Friday, the girls defeated Anson and then played the Div I # 3 team in the state Roscoe. They came out with a loss in this game and finished the tournament in Second Place. Overall..a very good tournament. They will get their rematch with Stanton tonight in Gail. If you remember, Stanton is the team that gave the girls their first loss of the season !! Hopefully tonight we will have a better outcome !!!

Rhaeden FINALLY got his room clean !! He has been in trouble for 3 weeks about getting his room clean. He spent about 8 1/2 hours in his room yesterday just piddling around. Then when I said supper was ready...He managed to clean it in about 30 minutes. Imagine what he could have been doing all day instead of staying in his room for 8 hours !!! Go figure...then this morning he came in my room and said, "Mom, I made my bed this morning." He was sooo proud of himself.

Maegen has gymastics again today. I guess I will be going back and forth to watch her in gymnastics and to watch the basketball games. The life of having three (four if you count my husband) children !!!

One last note: I forgot to wish my niece, Kacy, a HAPPY BIRTHDAY !! Her birthday was December 4th and they had her party on Saturday the 6th. If you have read...that Saturday was SUPER CRAZY with basketball and Football....so HAPPY BIRTHDAY KACY !!! HOPE YOU HAVE MANY MANY MORE !!!
