Catching Up on the Weekend's Events


Sunday, May 19, 2024
After a long day in the Sun during Saturday's track meet, we opted to stay home to slowly recharge our batteries.

Joyfully, we received a few photos from last Friday evening's Camarillo Cosmos season ending BBQ and Awards Night.

This medal brought out
sheer joy in Mary

I wonder if there was a medal for
Best Third Grade Smile?

Jacob's haul of four Medals,
Best Individual Marks plaque
and Top Performer T-Shirt

He also received this Del Sol H.S.
Track and Field T-Shirt

He wore it during most of his time at the Long Jump pit on Saturday.

Again, what a wonderful Spring sports season for all three of our grandchildren!

I want one of these

As I've often stated, Elroy "Crazylegs" Hirsch is my all-time favorite Los Angeles Ram.

Just another example on the
seemingly non-stop changes
in the DI college football scene

Schönen Vatertag! means
Happy Father's Day!

Who doesn't love an Old-Timers Game?

Big game in Colombia today
Bogotá White Sharks vs.
Medellín Huskies

I have no word on who won but a war could break out if it were a soccer game between these two cities.

The 6-0 Varese Skorpions hosted
the 0-6 Bologna Warriors today

Definitely not a marquee match-up but it was on the schedule and a Varese win would guarantee the Skorpions both the #1 seed in the fast approaching playoffs as well as an all-important First Round playoff bye.

Good weather for all three
IFL games this weekend

On Saturday the Firenze Guelfi's
beat the Ancona Dolphins

The Guelfi thus laid claim to the IFL's #2 playoff seed and the last remaining First Round playoff bye.

The Defending IFL Champion
Parma Panthers got an important
win over the Lazio Marines

In a Mercy Rule shortened contest
Varese easily outdistanced the Warriors

The Skorpions win early this morning California time and a quick posting of their game video to the HUDL app meant but one thing, I had a ton of video analysis to do for the team today.

Mission Accomplished!

There is now only one last weekend left in the 2024 IFL regular season with the First Round of the playoffs set for June 8-9.

I never saw this one coming in
Italian DII play today

I thought that Bart Iaccarino's Cecina Trappers would have had an easy time against the Ravenna Chiefs. Then again, that's why you play the game.

I like this

Having a granddaughter definitely changes one's perspective on ever so many things.
