CCS Championship

Here we go...

This makes a mom cry...

Pictures from the newspaper along with the write up...There are more pictures out there...but I do have to work...

Let's go get another win!

The Californian

On the road again...

Salinas takes on Lowell High school from San Francisco on Monday night at Kezar Pavillion in SF Golden Gate Park. Kyle always likes to look at the inside of the gyms...here you go!



We are having a shirt destruction ceremony. Andy swears that every time I make T shirts to commemorate the game - we get crunched. He started naming playoff games from Columbia, Hartnell and now Salinas. Ok FINE...I will stop having so much fun. Tomorrow we are wearing our old purple clothes...nothing new.

Hey...he got back up.

AAAAHHHHH!!! Shoot!

It just wasn't our night. Shots rimmed out...balls bounced. They worked hard until the last buzzer, but it just didn't work. As far as my boy..he had three fouls in the first quarter - one ref apologized to him at half time for calling so many fouls. Ummmm, he sat the whole second quarter. Could never really get anything going. He sparked in the third quarter, but they were bigger, stronger and were making shots and dunks, and dunks. I don't know the final score...the margin may have been more than all my toes and fingers...The way I look at it for Kyle, if he is perfect every night, where does he go from there...this way he knows what he needs to work on and can work towards that. But HEY!!! There is still more to come. Monday or Tuesday is the first round of the STATE tournament. Salinas will be there! Let's go Cowboys...regroup and go!!!

We got our purple on!

dream come true??? oh come on...that might be a bit much

News interview

Pictures vs Piedmont

I got these from sportswurlz.com...maxpreps

COWBOYS TO THE FINALS!!! updated!

Salinas knocked off #1 Piedmont Hills Wed night to advance to the CCS finals!!! It was such a great game from start to finish. I have never seen these guys play better. Because of this win, Salinas will automatically receive seeding in the California State Tournament. This is the second time Salinas has ever made it this far!!! I didn't take any pictures, because if you have ever been to a game with me, I was a little rambunctious after the game. There is a news clip that will be posted later on today. I will roam the internet and find some pictures too. Oh this is too exciting!!!

Here are some articles:

San Jose Mercury News
Monterey Herald
Salinas Californian

While roaming I found this highlight feed:
Salinas vs Serra (This was Saturday night)

Salinas vs. Serra

Just saw this today...Kyle jump shot

Heartbreak...FOR SERRA!!!! GO COWBOYS!!! or Moon over San Jose

Ok, so this might be a long post so get comfy. What a game! Salinas defeated Serra (Barry Bond's and Tom Brady's high school) in the CCS (Central Coast Section) quarterfinals and will play in the semi's on Wednesday! What a game with last second layup 45-43!! Woot woot!

This is NOT a picture of Kyle picking his nose...I promise. Kyle came out for warmups with these on. Yes, they are pink socks. Kyle says I love you Grandma!

Pink socks close up...

Kyle pregame with his teammates

Matt the ultimate fan!

Grace the ref heckler in training.

Now this picture may make no sense whatsoever until you read this post. Kyle got a little beat up tonight and was thrown to the ground over and over and one time he got a little gimpy. He hurt his back and hip. At one point it got so bad he reached for a heat patch to place on it and was in such a state (I am not sure what state that is ) he came over to the bench and asked Alex (a teammate) to help him put the patch on his left hip Kyle proceeded to pull down the back of his shorts AND his compression shorts underneath to put the patch on. The cheerleaders and the fans in my section got a full moon. Yes full moon. I yelled "Kyle, your butt is hanging out!" He just looked at me and pulled his shorts up about an inch...still a three quarter moon. I honestly don't think he knew. Well now the cheerleaders have seen more of Kyle than ever before!
