WILDCATS WIN THRILLER
and FINISH ON TOP!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHEW! The season kicked off with everyone having one goal in mind and that was to FINISH. FINISH on top like they had last year and so many years before. It was printed on t-shirts and drilled into everyone's mind from practice one. Merely getting to the championship game was not enough. Last night we all added an -ED to our team motto as we FINISHED in our rightful place- LEAGUE CHAMPS!

We woke up this morning still on cloud nine after last nights amazing victory over the Trojans. Although it was a victorious game for us, it was way too close for comfort. But it's now official, Coach Eli has blown his whistle for the last time and he can retire knowing his Lil Wildcats are champions AGAIN! I honestly thought he was going to cry last night, but I'm glad he didn't since we had enough tears on the field between our players, the Trojans players and the parents. We spent the night celebrating at Coach Chad's house as team and looking forward to our last awards banquet.

I really don't have too much else to say. I can't wait to see the pictures, I can't wait to see the videos, last night was something NONE of us will ever forget. My husband loves those boys so much. He knows he pushed them hard every year, but all he ever hoped for is for them to remember him and the lessons they've learned through him as they continue to mature in to young men. It was because of them that he refused to let a little thing called chemo keep him down, not even life threatening cancer could keep him off the field.

It's going to be fun watching these boys grow up. We will keep up with them because they will forever be a part of the Alexander family. Thank you Wildcat parents, it has been a fun ride!
