Wohoo Chargers!
By Margot | January 14, 2008
Just had to do a quick Monday morning sports update. Hospital visit is on Wednesday so I’ll bring you back to the regularly scheduled program then.
How about those Chargers?!! Wohoo! We watched the game at the Savocas and it was mayhem with everyone screaming at the top of their lungs for most of the second half. All three Hutchison boys were wearing their LT jerseys and were very excited about the game. Oh, All right so Charlie didn’t exactly know what he was excited about in the first half and slept through the second half, but he looked the part. One of the Hutchison boys (see if you can guess who) was slightly fair-weather in that when the Colts scored the first touchdown he said, “That’s it! I’m rooting for the Colts.” He was firmly back in Charger camp by the end of the game though. All the experts had counted us out. Look out Patriots!
Now for the second important team update. The American Lightning Bolts (our PeeWee basketball team) had their first game Friday night. There is no score kept in the PeeWee league and both teams always “win.” However, if there were a score kept, it might be said that we were crushed something like twelve to one. It was at least partially coaching error because I need to mix up our subs differently. No matter though, fun was had by all and the both Sam and Andy did very well. Sammy was amazing even on bad ankles. He and Joe really moved the ball well and threw up the most shots. Once they got in the game, things were evened out quite a bit (again need to rethink my subbing). The big news though was that Andrew made our only basket. It was towards the end of the game and I was willing something to go in. Joe passed the ball to Andrew, he threw it up there and it went in. The best part was his celebration. He turned to crowd and put on quite a show, so much so that he had everyone in stiches, he was jumping around doing 360’s and though I didn’t see his face, Colleen said it was priceless. I wish I had it on film. Andrew will do a reinactment of the shot for you if you ask him about it. Sam was bummed he didn’t score but I know he will in the next few games. He came really close. I know that I am “one of those” sports mothers. Neil actually gave me a copy of the San Diego Reader last week with the cover story “Soccer Moms Are the Worst” and said “Here, I saved this for you.” I tried not to take it personally.
I’ll post again on Friday with some numbers and more news.  Doug Sahlin, my wonderful and talented author is helping me switch the site to a blog with a white background. So those of you who have been getting eye strain by loyally reading our site should get some relief on Friday.  A million thanks to Doug for the help.
