Her school, Empire High School, did extremely well. They had multiple solo cheer winners as well as all three squads (JV, Pom, and […]

Yes! The Lions finally win! They broke their 20 game losing streak and beat the Washington Redskins by a score of 19 – 14. And you know what, they actually looked quite good doing it. They have been steadily improving each week. While I don’t think they will win a bunch of games or make […]

Sean’s football team got their season off to a start this week. As I have probably mentioned, Sean is playing for a different city this year as the old city isn’t fielding a team this year. The past years playing, they maybe had 15 kids for a game, so Sean played both ways. His team […]
