Northeast Winds & Snow!!

Cedar Park 8th Grade Basketball!

12-11-08 -We went down to Cedar Park Christian School which is located in Bothell. Evan had a game with Bellevue Christian School. When we got to the gym and were watching them warm up we weren't sure our eyes were working right. Bellevue has a boy on their team that is probably 6'5" and this is 8th grade. He was a problem for us at times. We were leading by about 10 points with about four minutes to halve time and the coach put in ab out three subs. Well they cut our lead really fast and at halve time we lead by 1 point. So the second halve was a dog fight and the most we ever lead was by about one or two points. Well we came out with a win 44-41 and Evan was our leading scorer for the team as he ended up with 22 points. So Cedar Park!!

Lynden Lions Football Team - 1st in State!!

Saturday Dec. 6th. We went to the Tacoma Dome to watch Lynden play Prosser. We just about didn't go because there wasn't a seat in the car. We didn't want to drive by ourselves. Then Pam & Brett had room so we went together. Sure glad we were there. Lynden played a really good Prosser team which won State last year. We weren't doing that well and we down 21-6 with 2 minutes 22 seconds left in the game. Well we score a touchdown which makes it 21-12 then make a 2 point conversation which makes it 21-14. We weren't done and kicked an onside kick which took a Lynden bounce and we recover. We are on the Prosser 47 yard line and two plays later are on their 4 yard line. One play later we are in the end zone, score is now 21-21. So we go into OT and we each score in the OT now 28-28. Then in the second OT we score first and lead 35-28. They then score and now it is 35-34 and they try a 2 point conversation. We knock down the pass into the end zone, WE WIN 35-34. So our kids got an early Christmas present. Great game!!
