I enjoyed recently making a trip to Palo Alto and watching my son play for a few minutes at Stanford. Dallas is a freshman and is still adjusting to the college game, but I’m thankful his head coach, Bobby Braswell of CSUN, is a Christian and a man of faith. I appreciate all Christians who live out their faith in the secular environment.
As you may or may not know my daughter plays for the Matadors, too. You can always read about them at http://www.gomatadors.com/ and stop by for a home game sometime. You’ll catch me at the girls’ and the boys’ games for the next few years.
The girls won their first round game against Santa Clarita (see previous post) and now all we have left to play is the championship game at Grace Community Church, on Friday, November 13th, 2008.
We play L.A.B. at 3:30 pm for the championship game… See you there!!
Our middle school girls at Hillcrest are undefeated and headed into the playoffs. If you want to enjoy a game, come watch us on Wednesday at 3:30 PM at Hillcrest Christian School. We play Santa Clarita Christian, and if we win, we will play in the Championship game on Friday at Grace Community Church, starting at 3:30 pm. I am VERY VERY VERY proud of these girls. Come cheer us on!!!
My youngest daughter, Kerri, plays on Wednesday at Hillcrest Christian School against L.A.B. at 3:30 PM… and then my oldest daughter, Kayla, plays at CSUN on Wednesday night at 7:00 PM… Maybe I’ll see YOU at one or both of the games…..
The Cal State Northridge women’s basketball team plays its second exhibition contest Wednesday as it hosts The Master’s College in The Matadome at 7 PM. Several Matadors put on impressive performances in the exhibition opener against Love and Basketball, including notable debuts from their newcomers. Junior Kayla Rutherford, who sat out last season as she transferred from Hope International, led the team with 20 points, including four 3-pointers, against Love and Basketball. She also chipped in two assists and three steals in 31 minutes of action. Another newcomer, freshman Bridgette Conejo, added six points and five rebounds, four of which were offensive, in 15 minutes off the bench. Freshman Neeta SreeKanth added two rebounds and two steals in 16 minutes of play. Despite losing 81-72, Northridge played hard on both offense and defense, as they forced 23 turnovers and scored 43 points in the second half of the contest. The Matadors reached 70 points only twice during the 2007-08 season.
Please come out to the Porter Ranch campus to show your support for YES on 8! As you may or may not know, Shepherd of the Hills is one of the polling places, and I would NOT be asking you to do this, but there are people on campus urging voters to vote No on 8. There are voters who have not yet made up their mind on this ballot measure, and we need to do what we can to help get the word out on why people need to vote YES on 8! This will be very close, and literally, every vote counts. Please join me in showing support for YES on 8!
