We are still meeting around 5 each day for practice each. Makes for a long day, for me, for the students. But I have noticed that the boys soccer team and the girls volleyball teams are both practicing around the same time as we do, and sometimes they are still there when we leave. We have had a couple of practices this week when storms have rolled in, yesterday, Wednesday was real nasty. It tough to send the kids out on a run of an hour and then have a storm come in real quick. We have one young lady on the team, her name is Shannon, she is scared to death of storms. The volleyball coach had to lead her home one night. I have been giving her a rough time about her fear, of coarse I’m scared of heights, but I would tell her that. This team is going to be fun to deal with, some different personalities. We probably won’t set the world on fire but we wouldn’t be the worse team either. What I’m proud of is that everyone of these kids are in district. I like the idea of helping the local kids and their parents with some of the expenses of going to school. Right now the economy is not the best in the area, so I’m glad to be able to help out.  I can’t wait to race and see where we are as teams. September 5th we get to find out whats up. I just watched a video of Josh Thebeau running his 800 and 1600 at the Missouri 3A State meet, very interesting, very very interesting.
