Humble in Victory, Gracious in Defeat.

This game happened on 9/17/2016 at Loyal Heights vs. the Edmunds White.  Knights led the White until the 3rd quarter where the White scored two in a row.  Mac (#9)  took the ball on a kick off to tie the game.  But it wasn't enough as the White were on a roll and scored one more in the 4th quarter.  With 2 minutes remaining the Knights needed something and on the 4th down, Mac chucked a hail Mary that the White intercepted and it was game over.   

This is one of my favorite games I've ever watched of my son play as he and the rest of the team executed the most important rule of sports, be humble in victory and gracious in defeat.

Knights vs. Timberwolves 9/10/16

Great game against the Timberwolves, even though the field was in east bumfuck, MillCreek to be exact. I had to show our passports twice to get into that town. Anyway, killer game. One of the Knights lineman, Cole, first play took out the Wolves quarterback and we think he broke his arm. Kids a beast. QB1 and QB2 both played in the game as this was a run away for the Knights.  Also, easy on the "nice filming" comments, for this game I got a new tripod and I'm obviously shooting from a distance, plus the DadCam factor is there, so some of the shots I'm watching thru my eyes and not on the camera screen. 

Clear eyes, full heart, CAN'T LOSE.

Mac's first game of the 2016 season was a jamboree with Lakeview.  Full hearts and clear eyes prevailed.  Mac is QB, #9.  Enjoy the game in a quick three minutes and forty seconds.

Side note, I filmed this from the stands on a mono pod, so DadCam is in full effect.  The day after this game I went and bought a tripod, but now have to learn how to shoot with it.

Trendy High Cascasde Edit

I'm pretty proud of this edit, that I didn't do. Session 6 is the last session of High Cascade Snowboard Camp and it's traditionally the one the boys go too because all the swim team shit is finished and we usually combo CAMPiTA at the same time. But...this year was a little different. Mac bailed because football started and CAMPiTA happened a couple sessions before. So it seemed that it was only Milo and Matteo that were gonna be down there at this summer camp that costs as much as a family vacation. Aiden, Corey, Austin and Paavo all jumped in though and they met up with Launch friend Miles and the rest is history. 
Enjoy.

Danny Kass was in Seattle last week and said to me "your kids at HCSC right? The kid grew and don't worry, his crew and him were owning the camp. If I want to really make a comeback, I should hook up with those dudes to shred."

C3 Incredibles Summa Meat Up

Another meeting in the books with the C3 Incredibles at the James Robert Compound.  The bar has been raised from last years activities with the recent addition of two 65 mph jet ski's, as well as a hot tub and fire pit.   So let me recap the recap, a modest house in the woods, on a lake, ping pong table, sleeps 9, big screen with internet for Skype with our friends that couldn't attend, bb guns, Traeger, ski boat, canoe, 2xpaddle boards, fishing gear, water tramp...and no distractions.  No bars, people, shit heads, nothing.  Just us, meetings, good times and a way to kick off the 2016-17 clinic season.
