~:[CH5 - Day 48]: ~ Moving On

I was a little tired in the morning, but there was a lot to do. I got the I'm Just a Bill video burned to DVD and then headed to school to setup the projector. We ended up getting all the videos played and they were all pretty good! While I make the DC group do it in one take, the other groups got to edit them and incorporated a lot of funny edited scenes. Speeches in class also began and while I had hoped for a more complete day of speeches, getting some good speeches in was definitely the goal. I was able to order our catering order for the conference, grilled, and even stopped off at TapEx before setting up track practice. I rushed over to the Bloomfield lot after doing so, to catch our bus for the game. The rest of the day was mostly spent in a bus. The traffic was horrid and it looked like we could fall behind schedule. A little over two hours later, we arrived near Norte Vista, grabbed dinner, and then headed to our game. I was appreciative of the staff and fans of Norte Vista. They were definitely welcoming and while during the game, the fans talked a little trash and the like, it was all within the realms of what I feel is normal. It was a great start and you could tell it would be a very fast paced game. However, we ended up opening up the lead and finished the first quarter with a 31-15 lead. We kept the pace up, defended well, and moved the ball with some passes that even got their fans saying, "ooooooooooo." That was one of my favorite parts of the evening. With a 53-21 lead at half, we needed to do a little more to close them out. I was so proud of our team because they played so well together and did a lot of what we have asked of them all year. Our defense and our pace of play held a solid Norte Vista (17-9) team and allowed us to get the win. We had a great bus ride back and definitely proud of our team. No matter what happens going forward, these are the type of games, you'll never forget.
