Merrick played football again this year. His 8th grade Rocketfootball team was undefeated, again. They started the season off with a bang. Their first few games were shutout's with the other team never scoring. They even had one game where the score was 50 - 0! It was an awsesome season, and I look forward to following this team thru high school!
They ended their season yesterday (Oct. 25th) by playing in the Jack Pine-Highland Conference. They played against another team that was also undefeated in their district. It was a good game. Very cold (grandma Betty stayed w/Ethan & Sophie) and wet. But the kids had a wonderful time. They played the championship game at our local college field, Central Michigan Universtiy. The kids had a blast and have many memories.

Merrick was also #11 last year
They had been entering the field all season carring this flag (skull & crossbones in the middle, with Clare Rocket Football written on it). Here they are grouping up to head out onto CMU's field for the championship game.
