Go Tigers!!

MVJH Tigers will take on the Canton Eagles tonight.  Wish them luck!!

Well, the 8th grade lost to Winnsboro last night. I don't know what happened....if they were just "off" or what. It was perfect football weather except for the little rain shower we got. Now, don't get me wrong...we most definitely need the rain, but it was just enough, along with the cool temperatures, to give you a chill all over, especially if you had to share an umbrella like myself!! It's a little hard trying to fit 3-4 people under 1 umbrella!! I WILL come better equipped and prepared for the varsity game tonight right down to my purple umbrella!!! LOL Caleb had a big turnout for his game and I can't thank everyone who comes out to support him how much it means. I know it means a lot to him, because he asks me every week, "who's coming to my game?" We won't let this defeat get us down......we'll make up for it next week. I can really see a big improvement in the Jr. High this year. I really believe that our new coaching staff along with "not so new coaches" and the new Athletic Director are really going to make a big difference in our athletic department and in our boys (or girls) lives. GO TIGERS!!!

Tiger Football

Well, I'm back. It's been quite awhile since I've blogged!!! It's that time again, fall is beginning in the air as well as Tiger Football here in Mt. Vernon!!! Hooray!! My youngest son, Caleb is in 8th grade this year and plays EVERY sport he possibly can. They had their 1st game last week against Cooper, there, and he made the 1st touchdown of the game and it was also his VERY FIRST touchdown too! He ran about 70-80 yards and needless to say, was ecstatic afterwards. We tease him all the time about "his head swelling up"! Tonight we play here against Winnsboro and I hope they play as well or better than last week. I had to laugh at him last week, because when we picked him up, his sister, Megan asked him why he was doing such and such during the game and he replied, "I was listening for my name on the loudspeaker!!" Good Luck Tigers!!
