Tucker's Senior Football Season - Game 1

(Tucker is on the far left)


Last Friday was the first football game of the season.  It is hard for me to believe that this is Tucker's sixth year participating in football.  It seems just like yesterday that he started back in 7th grade.  BUT - when you look at the photos - it is very apparent that it has been 6 years...

They played Glendale (a team from Springfield, MO).  
Final score: Joplin Eagles: 50 - Glendale Falcons: 7
Tucker kicked butt!  Our favorite moment when he was on the kick off team.  He nailed a kid - just laid him out flat.  Our whole section of the stadium was in awe and cheering.

Hope this is a great season for Tucker and the Joplin Eagles.

Henry's first game is next Tuesday...
Mike's first game is next Thursday...
Ilah's first volleyball game is in two weeks...

Go Eagles!

That is something I really, really miss about high school. I loved cheering for and participating in the sports. I hope this season is awesome for all of you!

Those pictures are so great. Amazing how much changes in 6 short years. Hope you have a great season, Tucker and we'll be seeing you in a few days!
