This week has been filled with Troy being recognized for his State Championship accomplishment. We attended the School Board meeting on Monday night and then the Commissioners’ Court meeting on Tuesday morning. So many kind words were spoken of Troy and I hope he feels honored for years of hard work. What a way to end his last week in high school!
Troy was honored at Crossroads this Sunday. Emily put together the cutest table with all sorts of pictures and awards and artifacts from Troy’s school days. During the service, Troy was prayed over by others and we were able to lift him up in prayer and through worship for his future. It was a special day!
The last baseball season is here. The team has played several tournaments already and has taken their team pics!
They are projecting this year they will go pretty far into playoffs so we are excited to see what this season holds!
The Muenster Tournament was so much fun! The team won all 4 of their games and played really well! The last game had winds up to 70 miles an hour so we almost blew away, but they pulled out a win. They also had a blast in their Air BNB as a team. What special memories!
Senior Night!! We got to walk Kelby out on the field for his last home game! He gave me and Richard a sweet thank you note and some flowers. They got the win and clenched District Champs, so that made it even better!
The Postseason is here! As the opponents are getting tougher the guys are having to find a way to win each game. Area was played in West so a ton of people came out to support the team and the student section showed up loud and proud! The semi regional game was played in Forney and the weather and the boys’ health did not cooperate. Almost every player battle through and flu and strep throat leading up to the games and there were several weathers delays in the last game and sadly at 12:30am we lost our second game and were out. It was heartbreaking. We were definitely the better team, but just couldn’t get in sync. The season was a blast, but watching the boys grieve at that last game is something I’ll always remember. Kelbly received the First Team All District Outfield award.
The athletic banquet is always so much fun. Richard and the board do so much all season for the coaches and athletes and it’s fun to celebrate the booster club and the coaches and teams for all their hard work. The boys racked in the certificates and accolades. I know Troy and Kelby will miss team sports! I am thankful for all they learned and how they grew as men through athletics. Coach Cruz was so kind and framed Troy’s powerlifting certificate and he also made sure he said goodbye through tears and hugs to Troy. They have a very special bond! Athletics will look differently next year as we will only have to Teague to cheer on!!
The Senior class participated in Decision Day where they announce their future plans after high school and the school awards a few scholarships. Kelby announced he will be attending TSTC to learn about construction and Troy announced he will be attending Texas Tech with a pre-med major. Both boys received a few scholarships!
