After school part of the ELHS annual staff came out for yearbook portraits.
We can't all get together at the same time.
Alex will have to explain why she got to use the column.
Thanks Leah for your help.

And my favorite shot of the day is of my son; in action
at tonight's LCHS JV basketball game.

Finishing up with 38 Senior Formal portraits at LCHS.
That was in the morning.

Congratulations to..................

the winners in the High School Divisions at the LCHS Miss Merry Christmas Pageant.
All the young ladies were just beautiful.

Greg

It was just a Dang ol' Heartbreaker.......

After driving down the field, converting on a crucial 4th and 2 at the ten yard line, ELHS Senior
Lucas Terry scored a touchdown, giving the Eagles a 14-8 lead......it was storybook.
But there was a minute left in the game; which gave Hatton time to score, kick the extra point and win the game 15-14.

Dadgummit.

Greg

Brrrrr.......it was a cold night......

But the Red Devils were HOT. Winning 27-14

On Senior night, the last game, they turned the Beaver loose!

Greg

Haven't been to Bankhead yet?.......Go Now!

The leaves are beautiful this year.

But don't go alone, some of the trees have eyes...... and they're watching you!!!!

And we all got home in time to see the last half of the race too!

A Birthday present courtesy of Taylor.
It was a beautiful drive through the forest, with the leaves changing.
Michael, Blake M.and I got to meet Barry Krauss!
I don't think they really knew who he was, but I did.
Anybody remember the
"Goal Line Stand"?? #77?

And yes, LCHS '06 graduate Chris Pugh got to dress out with the team!!
They should have put him, he would have caught some of those dropped passes.

Greg

We got our 5 dollars worth............

at the LCHS vs Hamilton game. We ran it one way awhile, and they ran it the other way awhile, Hamilton ran it in the endzone more than we did and won the game 34-21.
The wind blew.
And the LCHS Band put on a great halftime show "in costume".
It was an entertaining night.
But we did miss our 'chicken on a stick'.
