Denise and I went to Canton, Ohio in August to see the Jordan Beetdiggers take on the Massillon Tigers in football. It was a great game and I got to see so many wonderful people that I knew from my years at Jordan.
One great surprise was seeing Kristi Williams. She came to the game to see her brother play. Kristi was a student of mine during my first year at Jordan and it was so good seeing her! She is now in Washington D.C. and I now have a personal guide when I visit our nations capital!
The stadium was huge and very full of orange Massillon fans. They were even sitting on the visitors side. We were surrounded....
The Beetdiggers entering the stadium.
Our Jordan contingency! We were small in numbers, but big in heart!
Jordan was ahead at the end of the first quarter scoring the first and only touchdown of the quarter. They went into the locker room at half time tied 14 - 14. They were still even at the end of the 3rd quarter 21 - 21 and with under a few minutes to go in the fourth quarter and tied 24 -24, Jordan drove the length of the field and scored the winning field goal with about 5 seconds remaining in the game. It was an amazing game and Jordan never gave up. They faught hard and deserved to win. Way to go Beetdiggers!

I freaking love that you are wearing a JHS "Ceramics is Sweet" t-shirt!!!! That made my weekend! Also, so you are still in the loop in the happenings at JHS, Bob Dowdle is Deputy Superintendent for the new Canyons School District, and Tom Sherwood was announced today as the "Lead Administrator" for the school. We're bummed to see yet another administration change, but hopeful that Tom gets the job officially when they get around to doing an official search and interview process.
I hope things are going well for you. You should do a blog post about your new school and what you are up to there. We sure do miss you here. Especially when someone is eating string cheese. ;)
