Weekend Notes
It was a pretty good fall break/long weekend around our house. It included another trip to Cincinnati, a new family toy, and a variety of news on the high school sports front. Let’s dive into the details. CHS Fall Break C and L were off Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday for their fall break. L had basketball practice all three days…
Weekend Notes
Going to flip things up a bit, as our family had a rough week that’s worth getting caught up on first. Squad News Monday M got diagnosed with mono. She’s been sick for weeks and it took a turn last weekend, so she went and got checked. She told us she could see the test turn positive from across the…
Sports Notes
NFL Four weeks into the NFL season and I’m not sure what to make of things. Is there a single team that deserves unquestioned trust? The Chiefs lost at home to Detroit opening night, righted themselves over the next two weeks, then apparently looked kind of crappy against the Jets last Sunday before escaping with a win. The Bills played…
Weekend Notes
HS Football Cathedral went down to Lexington, KY to play last year’s Kentucky 5A state champs. The Irish got an early lead, weathered their normal letdown, built the lead again, then held on for a nine-point win. Probably their best, most complete win of the season, from what I could judge by listening. They travel to Cincinnati next week. The…
Weekend Notes
HS Football Two games again this weekend. Friday night Cathedral played at the public school down the street. Both girls had some friends over before the game and we walked to the stadium. First play of the night CHS snapped the ball over the quarterback’s head, he chased but could not cover, and North Central took over in Irish territory.…
Tuesday Notes
I have some assorted items that have been sitting around for a week or two that aren’t big enough for their own post. So you get back-to-back Notes entries. Kid Hoops L is in her third week of basketball workouts at CHS. The first two weeks were before school on Wednesdays and Fridays. She’s been getting up before 5:00 on…
Weekend Notes
A lot of sports and stuff to get through from the past weekend. HS Football Weirdest game of the season for Cathedral, against rival Bishop Chatard. It was CYO Night + Homecoming + Chatard, so the stadium was packed. We got there an hour early and still had to park in the overflow section a couple blocks away. The Irish…
Labor Day Weekend Notes
It wasn’t that long ago when Labor Day weekends were big, involved deals for us. When we were lake house owners, that would always be the last blowout of the year. Lots of friends or family down for two final days of floating, swimming, boating and fun. We’ve backed off that pace quite a bit and these weekends are much…
Friday Football Notes
A rare Friday post about something other than music promoted by the beginning of college football and an interesting night at a high school game earlier this week. KU Football I was thinking last night that there have been very few falls in my life when KU fans were genuinely excited about the coming football season. I’m talking about the…
Weekend Notes
Not the most exciting weekend of the year. I feel obligated to share the minor doings anyway, since that’s kind of our thing here. HS Football Number two Cathedral went west of town to Brownsburg, where they went 1–1 last year, to face the #5 Bulldogs. Last August CHS fell behind 21–0 before making a furious comeback that fell short,…
