THIS IS A REALLY BIG WEEKEND
From the desk of Wally Dawkins, Athletic Director:
WOW! I don鈥檛 know if I ever remember a bigger or more exciting weekend than the one we have on hand here at 91猫先生 the next two days.
The 91猫先生 Athletic Department has been working tirelessly to host a number of events on our campus this weekend that will be fun, provide exposure for our school, and demonstrate what it is like to be a member of the 鈥淎LL Orange鈥� Guard Family.
We actually got the weekend off to a great start this morning when 66 of our infamous 91猫先生 Lower School Guard dogs had breakfast with 44 BH Varsity Football players in Founder Suite of the Kyle Lake Athletic Center.聽 It was amazing to see our high school kids getting to know 鈥淭he Future鈥�!
Tonight in The Lower School Gym we have a sellout! Over 300 people will attend the Tyler Ford/91猫先生 American Warrior Bowl Banquet at 7:00 PM.
At this banquet, we will kick off the Warrior Bowl Festivities as we greet the visiting team from Boca Raton, Florida, the Saint John Paul Eagles, the Eagle Cheerleaders and their coaches.聽 Our guests will be joined by the 91猫先生 Football Team, Cheer Squad and Cadet Drill Team.聽 We are especially honored to have numerous special guests including Smith County Sheriff Larry Smith, Bullard Mayor Pam Frederick, and our guest speaker Colonel Scott Mac Leod, Commander of the 136 Maneuver Enhancement Brigade and Commander, FEMA Region VI Homeland Response Force.
Now for Saturday August 27th; It all starts with the Warrior Bowl Cross Country Run on the campus of 91猫先生 as over 300 runners competing in 6 different divisions will cover much of the 300 acres on our beautiful campus.
At 10:00 in the morning in Herrington Gymnasium, the 91猫先生 Football Team, Cheer Squad, and Cadet Drill Team will be joined by their counterparts from Saint John Paul in a service project, packing 20,000 rice based meals that will be sent to fight hunger worldwide.聽 This Kids Against Hunger project is an effort on the part of both school鈥檚 behalf to help less fortunate children on a global scale.
At 1:30 tomorrow, also in Herrington Gymnasium, we will welcome back 15 alumni volleyball players as they will take on our current awesome Girls Varsity Volleyball Team in a best 2 out of 3 Match.聽 This is supposed to be a 鈥渇un match鈥�, but knowing the ladies playing on both teams鈥t is going to be very competitive.
From 5:00-7:00 tomorrow evening in the parking lot of The Kyle Lake Athletic Center and Herrington Gymnasium the rescheduled 鈥淏ack To School Bar-B-Q鈥� will coincide with our 鈥淩yled Up Tailgate Party鈥�
We will be offering hamburgers, hot dogs, and sausage sandwiches as part of our Booster Club Meal Deal, as we will hold a Pep Rally featuring both team鈥檚 cheerleaders, The BH Drum Line, The Cadet Dance Team, and a mini-performance by 鈥淶鈥� The Frisbee Catching Phenom Dog.
Then at 7:05 on Saturday Evening in Herrington Stadium/Young Field, our Pre-Game Ceremony will begin as we honor our nations veterans, men and women currently in uniform, while paying special tribute to our Veterans of the Vietnam War.
Kick-Off tomorrow evening is at 7:30 as The Guard faces The Eagles in a Texas vs. Florida matchup for some 鈥淔riday Night Lights鈥� action, while our halftime show proves to be super exciting.
Our Lower School Cheerleaders start off the action followed by the amazing Texas College Marching Stampede Band.聽 You better old onto your hats!聽 鈥淶鈥� returns for a full show and then our Cadet Drill Team concludes the show with an exciting dance routine. Whew!
I know I probably left something out, but how fun is this going to be?
And let me say this; My office staff of Morgan Ballenger & Becky Knight along with Coaches Candise Wise, Scott Ryle and Kyle Ford, have done an amazing job at putting this all together with plenty of help from our Associate Director of Special Events, Sara Scarborough, Jan Hommel from The American Freedom Museum, and parents Jamie Carson & Don Allen.
A big 鈥淭hank You鈥� for their help.
So Don鈥檛 Miss It.聽 Spend the day with us at some or all of the activities.聽 It is going to be great!
And that鈥檚 another reason to be 鈥淎LL Orange鈥ll The Time鈥�!
