Change of Venue

2008-08-30T12:57:00.000-07:00

Hi, everyone. I realized two things recently: 1) my husband takes a lot of pictures, and 2) I'm running out of photo space on this site. So I have had to switch to a photo album sharing site to be able to continue. All of the new pictures will be added to this site:

You will still be able to copy and paste the photos you like. Please let me know if you're having any problems with the Shutterfly site.

Midnight Maneuvers - August 7, 2008

2008-08-07T14:05:00.001-07:00

After midnight the words "Be an 11 on a Scale of 1 to 10" rang loudly throughout the Golden Valley Football locker room and practice field. But Thursday morning, Coach Pinkston raised the ante to 12.

While the Cowboys, Indians, Vikings, Wildcats and Centurions of the Santa Clarita Valley slept, the Golden Valley Grizzly Varsity and Junior Varsity football teams walked onto the normally dark Grizzly football stadium at 12:01 a.m. The field was illuminated by lights provided by A.V. Equipment Rentals. This one-time practice was named Midnight Maneuvers.

By the amount of media and parents in attendance, this certainly won't be the end of this tradition. The Grizzlies, wearing camouflage practice shirts, were greeted by a sea of flash bulbs and a standing ovation by all. This history-making practice earned mention in The Signal. http://www.the-signal.com/news/article/3311/.

With their new look, the bigger, stronger, faster, and more experienced Grizzly football team went through a highly intense two-and-a-half hour practice. After practice, the players were fed a team meal, and then slept on the football field after watching Remember the Titans on a large screen set up at the 50-yard line.

The Grizzlies awoke at 6:00 a.m. to practice again and were fed a hot pancake breakfast before heading home.

Night of the Champions - July 16, 2008

2008-07-16T21:35:00.000-07:00

Night of the Champions marks the end of football summer camp, but the beginning of a new season. The boys gave it their all in each competition and quite a few school records were broken this year. I predict a great season ahead of us.

Check out these muscles hard at work. I love the facial expressions, not only of the player lifting, but the ones cheering him on as well.

Day at The Greens - July 6, 2008

2008-07-06T15:49:00.001-07:00

Today, we had our "Day at the Greens" event. It was a gorgeous day (okay, it was hot, hot, hot out there!) but the boys enjoyed putting and we had a great barbecue with lots of delicious side dishes and yummy sweets at our bake sale.

Special thanks to the men who withstood the heat to run the barbecue and the ladies for their tasty side dishes and hard work serving everyone.

Hey, Rodrigo. We thought this was a putting green?

Andrew took full advantage of his "handicap."

Don't tell anyone I caught the bag of charcoal on fire and had to throw it in the pond.
Hey, kid. Leave those polliwogs alone!

What? Polliwogs? Where?

Manning the range.

Bake sale.

Future Tiger Woods.

For!

Where's my ball?

I still can't find my ball.

Is this what they mean when they say "birdie"?
It must be, because that's not an eagle.

Look at that break.

In the bunker!

We've got spirit, yes we do . . .

Me! Me! Take my picture!
Hey, paparazzi!

It's a bird, it's a plane . . .
Let us bow our heads - and pray for a hole in one.

Bowl-a-thon - June 28, 2008

2008-07-02T09:18:00.000-07:00

On June 28, the Golden Valley High School Varsity, JV and Frosh football teams tested their bowling skills while raising an awesome $4,000 for the football program.

As you can see, everyone had a great time.
