Ade and Chip closed out week two last night. These guys are dedicated. They both had a scheduled "day off" yesterday, but returned last evening to MC the second campfire. When the crowd asked "why???" Ade exclaimed, "as Bo Schembechler once said, not exact words, the kids, the kids, the kids." The crowd cheered.
The campers didn't let us down this week. They performed some pretty great skits. Every year I'm amazed at how comfortable these boys are in front of an audience. Michigan won the pizza party as they were cheered for the loudest. It might have been their BIG BLUE singing sensation that put them over the edge. Check out the link to the right for a little tidbit of what you missed last night.
Another pizza party was earned by TEXAS.. They had the cleanest rooms of the week and achieved the highest score in Sports Camp History... Way to go Texas!....Hook em Horns....
Yesterday we kicked off the individual competitions. During camp the campers have been attending individual sports instruction. Now it's time to show what they've learned. Each camper will be tested on a specific task. Placement ribbons will be awarded to the top 4 four campers in each category in each age group. The campers took part in standing broad jump, 100m dash, lacrosse shoot, soccer shoot, softball throw, football throw and punt, tennis and swimming.
The final regular season games were played last night. After the campfire Coach Alexander finished seeding the teams for the tournament which begins today. We had some great match ups yesterday which determined the outcome of tournament placement.
Notre Dame and Brown met on the gridiron. It was an amazing game. At one point the game was so intense Coach Alexander called a pow wow on the field. He asked the teams to relax, loosen up and enjoy the game. ND and Brown are two of the best football teams in camp and the head to head meeting was becoming too much. They traded "3 and outs" and touchdowns right until the bitter end. Brown pulled off the win by stopping ND on their final possession. Coach was so proud of the two sets of coaches. They were professional and extremely supportive of their teams. Good job guys!
The Blue Devils proved why they're the team to beat during the tournament. They won all three of their match ups again yesterday. They're just SOOO GOOOD and in every aspect of TEAM. What a great group of guys.
It's going to be an exciting day around here. With the tournament beginning and the draft tonight we're really going to have some fun. Check out tomorrow's blog to see how things played out today. Enjoy your weekend!
