Fall Sports are in Full Swing

School Started last week, but the sports started on August 1st. That is the magic date when Ohio allows teams to start officially practicing. Don't be fooled - teams practice all summer long. They just call it conditioning, and have the seniors run the practice. But on August 1st, it's hard core practice, and the fun and frolic days of summer are over.

The week before school starts, the high school puts together an evening to introduce all the fall sports teams. Every team goes on the field and each athlete gets introduced. It's a lot of fun, and it gets the kids all hyped up for the school year to begin.

This fall, Taylor is cheerleading again for the varsity football team, and Shea is in the marching band and on the soccer team.

You can easily pick Shea out of the group. She is the only one wearing a white shirt.

Shea's boyfriend, Ben is right next to her. Isn't that cute - they both play the snare drum and get to be right next to each other during their performances.

Look at the little love birds marching off the field together!! We really like this kid. He's super nice and a lot of fun.

You may wonder why Shea is the only one wearing cut off jean shorts. I wondered the same thing. Her response - "We were all going to wear jean shorts, and they changed it to their uniform shorts, and I didn't get the text." Mmmm Hmmm, but the other 36 girls got it......This is the story of this kids life.
