James' team is holding its own with a record of 3-0. Last week, they played Austin High School. The final score was 45-7... yes, another Hightower Hurricane Beatdown. Check out Jay as he is completely focused on the little girl (not shown) in the bleachers to his left and completely uninterested in daddy's game.Now, you'd think that James would be pretty proud of this game's score. But, nooooooooo. As Defensive Coordinator, he is focused on shutting teams out completely. Notice that didn't happen this time (ahem, the other team actually scored a touchdown)? Say it ain't so, Joe! Now, gosh darnit, it's ok give up one score, isn't it? (Sorry... too much political news).
Back to my point. Actually, it was Special Teams that gave up the touchdown. Kickoff return: the Austin player receives the kick-off, begins to run it back at full speed. He gets clobbered by a Hightower player. I mean, the hit was so hard, the crowd went crazy. Well, apparently when the Austin player went down, he landed on top of his own guy, and never hit the turf. So while the Hightower guys (James' team) were celebrating and dapping the hard hitter up, the Austin player gets up and takes the ball into the end zone for an Austin TOUCHDOWN! Everyone knows James as the nice guy, but it was great to see him peeved!

Hi Alveda, James, Janai and Jay. I know this makes me a bit of an oddball, but I actually enjoy watching "blowouts" (Unless it is the other team of course). Not that I would want every single game to be a blowout, but if it is too close then you have too many people who try to say that it was luck etc. If one team blows away another team, then there is no doubt who is the better team. Also it promotes excellence. If someone is doing a superior job, that in itself is a noteworthy accomplishment. It also encourages other teams to do better.
Good Job James. Hope the recovery from Ike continues quickly.
Dave
