An Aunt's gotta brag!

If you read my post last week (I know, I only find time to blog about once a week) you know I was pumped up for Friday night football. I wanted to share to articles that have run this week after the cougars win over Beth Haven. I was trying to find the line scores but was having trouble locating the article in the paper last Saturday (don't worry, I bought an extra paper to put up). Chase scored all 5 touchdowns in the first half (mid-way into the 3rd quarter they took him out to let some of the younger guys play). He now has 7 TD's on the season, I hope he is able to add to that total this weekend. This weekend the cougars will be playing on Saturday night as they play DeSales. Now, this isn't a district game but it is very important game to the boys, bragging rights are very important. Thanks for listening to me ramble on but my nieces and nephews are the world to me and I hope they all know how much Mike and I love them and how proud we are of them. I will keep you filled in on all of it: the football, the dancing, the cheering and the high school play of Peter Pan!

Beth Haven falls 55-14 as Cougars extend their victory run to 4 and 0! Chase Martin on fire, scores 5 TD's !
The Cougars cranked it up early and never looked back, especially senior Chase Martin who scored 5 TD's! Chase scrambled for 4 scores on runs and also had a 65 yard punt return. With QB Devin Brown out of action Jimmy Nauert, did a great job stepping in at QB duties and Chase Martin stepped up to replace Nauert at running back and had the game of his life. The offensive line dominated the line of scrimmage and the Cougars scored on nearly every possession. The Cougar defense shut down the Bearcats all night. The two scores Beth Haven had were from a bad snap over Nauert's head in the first quarter when a defender scooped it up and scored, and a late score in the fourth quarter was against the Cougar Freshmen. The Freshmen did a good job offensively as Jake Kaelin scrambled for a 65 yard TD run. The scores were varied and many. Other scores were Cody Schoenburg on a 25 yard pass and Chad Hazelwood on a 65 yard Pass.

DESALES AT HOLY CROSS
When: 7:30 p.m. tomorrow.
Last year's meeting: DeSales won 37-13 at Manual Stadium.
Records: DeSales 2-2, Holy Cross 4-1.
Notes: The Colts routed Owen County 55-14 last week but should get a stiffer test tomorrow. DeSales likes to run and has six players with at least one TD run. Andrew Beeler leads the team in carries (30) and yards (150) but has yet to score. The Cougars have won four straight -- averaging 43.5 points -- behind quarterback Devin Brown (35 of 55 passing for 598 yards and seven TDs; 303 rushing yards, four TDs). Jimmy Nauert (381 rushing yards, six TDs), Chad Hazelwood (21 catches, 459 yards, five TDs) and Chase Martin (team-best seven total TDs) are the other threats. At halftime Holy Cross will honor the top 51 players in program history, including some from Bishop David.
Quotable: "It's just like any other rivalry game in that somebody can come out and get fired up and win," Holy Cross coach Dave Weston said. "Yeah, we want to beat them, but when it's over we'll shake their hands and move on. … But we'd like to have bragging rights, just like they would."
Jason's pick: Holy Cross 27-21.

Now, I should add that Mike and I celebrated our 31 month LID anniversary this week (I'm starting to lose count). We also had the next batch of referrals come out. The referrals appear to have gone from Feb. 10, 2006- Feb. 15, 2006 (6 days). Not the greatest but still six days! That puts us at 42 days until our LID, another baby step closer to Emma!
