Shadow Mountain

FYI- One of the most famous Shadow Mountain graduates is Boston Red Sox (formerly of the 2001 World Series Champion Arizona Diamondbacks) pitcher Curt Schilling who is from the class of 1985. Schilling helped the Matadors reach the state semi-finals before moving on to become a perennial all-star, a World Series MVP, and the National League record holder for strikeouts in a season by a right-handed pitcher.

Coach Mallory is from the class of 1988. I never met Curt- come on, there were 2,600 kids at SMHS. My brother had an algebra class with him though. My brother said he was a real slacker!

Old School

Just thought I'd throw up my own "Old School" fite song. I'd like to say I had enough school spirit that I still remembered it, but I had to ask an old classmate for help:

It's Shadow Mountain, It's Shadow Mountain

The pride of every Matador

Sing of our honor, sing of our glory

It's Shadow Mountain now we're for.

Now and forever, always endeavor
To battle on to victory
For we will never stop 'til we're on top,
So fight on, Shadow Mountain, FIGHT

Ah the 80's, the most perfect time there ever was. Big hair and huge cell phones.
Back then they had Cheer, Pom, and Drill and you couldn't tell the difference because they all wore cheer uniforms. But I just sat in the stands and watched.
Great baseball teams, average basketball & volleyball, lousy football, but a pretty good band.

First Junior High Basketball game

Mascots get hot. Mascots get hungry. Mascots get to take a break durring half time to cool off and fuel up.

Ali decided to focus on basketball, Tiffany got flu, Natalie got a sinus infection...
But Holli, Elsa and Rachel did their best to rock the Bulldogs' world at their first game.

Junior High gets ready for their first basketball game

Natalie flies with Holli and Racheal basing- she's super fan, no she's SuperFly!

Like a matador preparing for battle with the bull Christian dons the Dog head.

Working on chants

Peekaboo- EYE see you!

So the school Maintenance Director asked me to take some pictures of some problems in the new Wellness Center so he could complain to the builders and get them to fix them... so I'm walking through the beautiful and spacious new Kirk Sturgill Memorial Dunalap Community Wellness Center, minding my own business...
When who should I happen to bump into? None other than former Football Cheerleader Kensie Jensen! Yes! THE "Apple Juice" herself! Wow. You just never know what king of famous people you're bound to run into over there. And believe me, it hurt when I bumped into her with those big 'ol weights! Say, who's that in the picture behind her? Yeah, I think that that WOULD be Coach Petersen saying "Get back to work Kensie, this is Strength Training Class, not Screw Around and goof off time." What a ham! Miss you AJ!

As many of you who can practice Tuesday (11/14) already please do (from 3:20-4:30 or so). Wed you can serve as the judges for Mascot (Rosie finally got around to talking to me.) That means Brett, Megan & Daniel all need to get your paperwork in by Wed. I don't want to have to wait around like I did on cheer paperwork.

We'll need to work out a rotation schedule since I accepted all 8. That way we'll also be able to talk about hospitality dates and pep rallies too.

Sorry to keep you hanging so long. Thank you for your patience.

(Sasha maybe you can pass this word on to Kassi, Angie & Cassie can you pass it on to Kim & Haley? Christina, can you inform your brother? Lori- just in case you see this before Brett does? Thank you all)

T-Mal's - CARTOONS

Here's a collection of the Political cartoons that I draw each week for the Charter Oak -Ute NEWSpaper and the Schleswig LEADER.

Look through them, leave comments, tell your uncle who's the publisher of a major metropolitan daily that he should hire me and pay me several hundred thousand dollars a year.

Or ... not, whatever, that's cool.
