Winning Games = Happy Cox Family

All is good in the world of the Cox's when we have a good sports weekend.  No one is depressed... no one is sulking (well...not about football anyway)... no one is ranting at people who aren't here.  This is all VERY good for me, Mom...the one who ends up trying to pick up the pieces of the broken-hearted children who don't want to be cheered up after their team loses.  Oooh - did I say children? Hmmmm...how about GUYS?  Because, really, I have to include Kelly in that, too - if the 'Horns were to lose, he would NOT want cheering up, either.  Boys.

Jake started the weekend off with a bang last Thursday.  The MFHS JV Football team beat Hays Lehman 14-0.  Jake even got his name in the paper (which rarely even mentions the JV team!) when Coach Woerner said, "Outstanding blocking by Jake Cox, Herman Ortiz and Justice Ribera lead Hall into the end zone."  Yay Jake!!!

Friday night Zed and the Varsity Mustangs won big against Reagan, too - winning their game 51-6. 

Saturday started off great with Jackson's soccer team winning 5-1 against the River City Rangers.  RCR shouldn't have even had a point (officiating mistake) but that's ok.  This was the Eagles' first game of the season and they played GREAT!  It is going to be fun watching the rest of the games.

Of course the big excitement of the weekend was the UT/Tech game Saturday night.  Longhorns didn't look as strong as usual, but it turned out that 3 of them (including Colt McCoy) had the flu... but they beat Tech anyway!  Hook 'em!

We'll leave our successful sports weekend at Saturday night... because, well... then there was the Cowboy game Sunday night, and who wants to talk about THAT?   OOOOH - but I did win my game in Fantasy Football again... I'm 2-0 now.  Much to the annoyance of my husband and sons.  Hee hee...
