This is Zack Baker fighting off two bad guys at practice.
He did great and was able to push his way through.

 

Friday August 30th AKA The Second Day of School

Well we had some positive feedback from the Fall Baseball Preview, Some interesting emails from LARGE Professional Video Gamers. And a few orders off of the website! That makes me smile... and fills my belly with yummy Wendy's... which again makes me smile. Thank you to those who ordered some prints. I sell the images to cover the cost of this website. So I need to sell about 3 or 4 images a month to keep this page up and running. Monessen Sports.com has been getting more and more popular.. Starting with 4 or 5 visitors the first day to 100+ today. Not too shabby for a little town.

Well yesterday was a busy day of sorting through images for the picture orders and figuring out who ordered what and what needs to be ordered. All of the buttons are ordered. We waited a day or two for those who didn't get their pictures taken. The buttons should be in early next week.

Yesterday football practice was mostly filled with picture retakes but I was able to get a few shots of our tiny padded football heros battling it out with each other and hitting that padded thing... you know...That thing that coaches usually stand on the back of, and scream odd forms of insults at their players?.... I guess it would be easier to show you a picture... BELOW

The football players worked on some blocking drills like pictured above. it was a two against one type of thing.. unless you were standing on the other side... then it was one against two. They all worked up a nice sweat but still had enough energy to chase each other around after practice. I guess all that sitting in the classroom with NO RECESS really stores up energy for these troopers. BUT that is another topic I won't go too far into today.

What am I talking about.. this is my web page.. I can say what I want! SO.....Why doesn't the Monessen school have recess!? Recess is great! I have loads of great memories of recess... playing kick ball... uh.. running.. chasing girls... being chased by girls... playing kick ball... uh... oh and the best part was we played kick ball.. that was a fun game. Cool balls too... they made that strange noise when you hit someone in the face... FAOUM... (that's the best I can do with words...) Oh and my friend Josh and I used to pretend to be fighter pilots... ahhh senior year was great... or was that 3rd grade... eh..whatever... KICK BALL FUN!

UPDATE:8:00 am THE PHOTO SECTION IS BEING UPDATED AND SO YOU CANNOT SEE ALL OF THE IMAGES OF YESTERDAY'S PRACTICE YET.

Todays message was brought to you by the number threeve ( a combination of three and five) and the letter Z for the professional kick ball association of Ziare ...That's in Africa

Monessen comes out ahead! or at least a foot or a hand... Tiny Mites Win 12 to 38, Termites with an upset loss of 14 to 8 South Allegheny. Mighty Mites Win 20 to 6 and due to the extreme hot weather... I had to make an emergency stop at the nearest pool and didn't catch the Midget's Score.

Saturday August 25th, 2007
It was just as hot today as it was yesterday... but that didn't stop Monessen from dominating the scoreboard against Waynesburg. Tomorrow the Midget league play their first games against South Allegheny. The first game starts at 9:30.
