AWESOME SEASON...THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!

LAST GAME

2009-11-07T16:39:00.000-08:00

Sadly our UPWARD season is over but what a finish! God blessed us with great weather and our Longhorns were AWESOME! Wow what teamwork and concentration they exhibited. It seems that our season just flew by and we will sure miss seeing all of you.

We want to thank all our parents/family that shared your children with us and supported the team. We could not have done it without all of you! Thanks for the snacks, encouragement, friendship, and prayers. A special thank you to one of our parents who purchased the trophies. They were a huge success! In addition, thank you Mrs. Allen for keeping us all up to date on the blog [This is coach Dean's wife, coach Daustin's mother-in-law. Daustin snuck this one in as a special editor this week :) ].

Thanks again for a terrific season and if we can help any of you at any time, please don't hesitate to contact us. Daustin's email address is dkratzer@naobc.org. If you ever want to talk to him more about the church, next year's Upward season, or God, please do not hesitate to email him.

We hope to see all of you at the appreciation ceremony on Monday at 6:30 p.m.

GO LONGHORNS ! !

2009-10-24T17:00:00.000-07:00

Wow, could it get any more windy today! It was sooo cold and windy and our Longhorns were feeling it. However, they gave it a good try and hopefully next week will be warmer!

Don't forget, our parent game this Tuesday (27th) with pizza following the game. I'm sure the Longhorns will take it easy on thier parents...NOT! Get ready for a great game and fellowship afterwards. Coach Daustin will be back from his cruise:)

(Sorry only one picture today...batteries died in our camera.)

CHILLY GAME FIVE

2009-10-17T12:44:00.000-07:00

It was soooo cold and windy today but our Longhorns kept things heated up! Even though Coach Daustin wasn't there to help guide us, everyone played their best and beyond. Goals were made by team members that had not scored before...way to go! We have the best team and they play so well together.

Our practice game where the parents play against the team is scheduled for Tuesday, October 27. It has always been very exciting and interesting in the past. We would love to see as many parents play as possible and see who is the greatest! Get those muscles limbered up and your kicking foot in shape:) We will have pizza for everyone afterwards.

We will play our next game on FIELD 6 at 11:00 a.m. (Pray for sunshine!) Zak's mom (Jody) will supply our game day snacks. The church will have free hot drinks.

Thanks to all of you who have supported our Longhorns and have furnished snacks and other goodies. We sincerely appreciate you!

WOW, what an exciting game this week! Our defense and offense was outstanding. The team spirit and togetherness is increasing with each game. Everyone is passing, assisting, and supporting each other. Let’s not forget the parents, grandparents, other family members, and friends that consistently cheer us on. We love the encouragement! Thanks to Josiah’s mom for snacks this week. Angela Chhetri is scheduled to provide snacks after our next game (3rd). Don’t forget practice on Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. and the ice cream that we will share with all our families afterwards.
