Games and Government

Matthew's team did not fair so well on Thursday against McCracken. I did not note the final score as the game was pretty frustrating. I believe it was 23-47. Matthew played only a couple of minutes in the 3rd quarter. I know it was frustrating for him to sit on the bench watching his teammates continue to do terrible passes again and again. Oh well, next week is a new week of games.

Nathan got home from Youth In Government yesterday afternoon. He had a great time meeting new friends and seeing old ones. His Bill, however, did not pass but he enjoyed doing other presentations. Evidently students could choose to stand up when a bill was read to do an argument for or against the bill. Nice to have him home.

Matthew was supposed to go on this same trip but a week before the trip he decided he would rather played in the McCracken game than go to Columbia. Interestingly enough Matthew's Bill was given the Most Outstanding Award. His Bill was to have tougher penalties and fines for parents that do not buckle up their children. Matthew wishes he would have gone now rather than sit on the bench. He is definitely learning. : )
