We're movin...

G and I have been waiting for this moment for about 5 months. We are finally getting our own place and we are so excited! Its going to be such a transition but a good one for sure! We are moving into an apartment. Its going to be much, much smaller than what we are used to but its going to be "our" new little home and we will make it the best ever! Please have us in your thoughts and prayers as this is a HUGE step for us!


Will post before and after pics and I'm so excited to decorate!!

Friday Night Lights (Week 3 MHS vs. Napa HS)

Two Words: We lost

I'm usually lost for words at times like these because I'm not used to us losing 2 games in a row this early in the season. Our boys played their hearts out but the final score was... 43-22!!

We'll get 'em next week boys! Such a tough start for us being that we are playing the BEST of the BEST of teams not in our league. It's good practice though. We'll be ready for Conference to start in October. You can bet on that ;)

* Next week we play Edison High School of Fresno, Ca (another tough team)

Friday Night Lights (Week 2 -- BYE)

Our boys have the week off! No news to report but glad they had the week to revamp their game plan.

Next week we play Napa HS @ Home!!

To be continued~

Friday Night Lights (Week 1 MHS vs. Bullard HS)

Just a little bit of info on our game. Didn't have the heart to take lots of pics. It was tough and I really felt for our boys. Here's a little bit of the story:::

With the very first play of the game, Fresno Bullard quarterback gave the Merced football team notice that it was in for a long evening. The 6-foot-3 senior let fly on a 76-yard touchdown pass that was negated because of a holding call. It didn't matter. Their quarterback was just getting warmed up.
He started the game off with a 56-yard touchdown pass just a few plays later and ...

The Bullard rout was on.

Merced has become a regional power the last three seasons with players that were bigger, stronger and faster than its opponents. All three adjectives described Bullard on Friday night, and as a result, Merced's squad struggled on both sides of the ball.

"We just didn't play our game," A Merced defensive lineman said. "They're good, but we just didn't show it tonight. We just have to double our efforts in practice to make sure this is a one-time thing" Merced's offense didn't fair any better.

As a result, Merced lost to Bullard HS 41-0

We have to make a few adjustments and with a "bye" this week, it will give us time to make those adjustments and be ready for our next challenging opponent. I have faith in our Coaches and our boys.

We WILL be back and stronger than ever---

Next week Merced will host Napa High school.
