This weekend all of our football team (besides the linemen) went to Arkansas for an Elite 7 on o7 Passing camp. We stayed in a hotel named Embassy Suites. It was the nicest hotel I have ever seen. The good part is that there was a celebrity golf tournament happening that weekend so famous athletes such as Ladanian Tomlinson, Emmitt Smith, Reggie Bush, Joe Theisman, Joe Montana, Shawn Elliot, Brooks Robinson, John Salley, Marshal Faulk, and others stayed in that same hotel as we were. Some of got to see famous people that others different. There was even a rumor that Lil Wayne was there (which he wasn’t).
Anyways, most of the teams there were from Arkansas but 3 from Oklahoma. It was us, Jenks, and Metro Christian. When we first got to Shiloh Christian we were ready because we had to play Har-Ber and they were supposed to be the champs. Every single one of us was talking about the first game, getting our plays straight to make sure we went out to execute. When we get focused we usually go do what we’re set out to do so we won. We had four 22 min. games scheduled on Friday so we beat Har-Ber, 2 other teams, and lost to Fayetteville. The next day our first game was against Shiloh 2 (JV). We ended up beating them and the next team we played and we needed to win the next game we played to clinch a #2 seed in the playoffs. But we weren’t focused . . . we had a part of our team sitting on the bus and another part somewhere else. We weren’t together . . . and it showed when we played our next game. We lost, and we were embarrassed because no one our team had a great game, probably not even a good game. Still, we had good news because we were tied with Jenks for 3rd seed but ended up actually getting it because of us allowing the least amount of points. So we had a bye in the playoffs. We ended up having to play Fayetteville again which was a 5th, maybe 6th seed. We were excited to play them because we had to get our revenge. Our first loss was to them so we had to redeem ourselves. We came out pumped up and ready to play. We was on offense first, we got stopped. So defense came out and we got scored on . . . we scored every once in a while but that was basically the pattern of the entire 20 minutes we played. The playoffs were single elimination so we were done. We packed up and left.
