Tigers split

The basketball team lost, but the soccer team won a lightning shortened match.  I tried to catch a half of each game but it didn't work out like I wanted.  I think in the future I need to pick one.

Terrell Powerlifters

This Saturday Eric Roberts and Annie Tidwell will lead a team of Tiger powerlifters to their first meet of the year in Sunnyvale.

 Eric and Annie are Seniors who represented Terrell at the Texas State Powerlifting Championships last year.

 Eric is a super heavyweight who lifted a combined 1480 lbs at the State meet in Abilene last March. He finished 12th in the 5A/6A combined class, and from 5A schools he was 4th. This year he has set goals of 700 squat, over 400 for the bench press and 600 for the deadlift. If he hits those numbers he could be looking at top 5 in the State.

 Annie qualified for regional at 97lbs and 105lbs. She competed in the 105 wt class. She went to State lifted a combined 415 lbs in the Girls meet in Corpus Christi. Annie finished 14th in the state. Her goal is to increase her totals in all 3 lifts and return to state.

 Eric was also named 2nd Team All District offensive line for the district champion and regional finalist football Tigers. Annie is a varsity cheerleader.

 They both epitomize #terrellproudtigerstrong

Photo of the year

Picture of the year. I probably have better pictures, but this is my favorite. It was senior night and the last district game. The Tigers were hosting Poteet and both were tied for the last playoff spot with 8-5 district records. The winner would be in the playoffs, the loser would be out. The score was tied 0-0 after 13 1/2 innings. In the bottom of the 14th, Kris Priddy, who pitched 12 shutout innings, led off with a walk. He moved to 2nd on a base hit by Mychal Alsup, who also tagged out Poteet runners at home in the 12th & 13th innings to keep the game scoreless. Klayton Henderson, who pitched the final 2 innings for the W, then delivered the game winning hit to right field. The picture is Kris after scoring the winning run and the Tigers running out to jump on him. Not only is this my favorite picture, but its probably my favorite moment of the year.

Could Goff be a Cowboy?

I was in the Air Force, so I was pulling for the AFA in the Armed Forces Bowl, but they were beat by Jared Goff and the Cal Golden Bears.  Goff threw for over 400 yards and 6TDs.

Rainy Saturday

The weather for the Terrell Christmas parade was prefect.  By the time I made it over to Forney to take pictures of the Forney Fire vs Forney Public Works flag football game it was pouring.  I stayed long enough to get wet.  I'm sure they all had fun playing in the rain though. 

Everyone loves a parade
