Cedar Park High School, on October 23, 2009 beat on of the highest rated teams in the state of Texas.  Stony Point was supposed to beat us like ugly orphans.  They were supposed to dominate us.  We beat them, thus we became the only team in our league to be undefeated in league play. [Read more →]

I am a lucky man.  I have been married 22 years to the woman who still makes me happy.  I have a 15 year old who will turn 16 way too quickly and he only drives me nuts less than 20 to 25% of the time.  I have a daughter who is going to be the reason that I will get to buy guns.  She is eight years old and is a strong young lady, with a definiteness that is rarely matched by kids her age.
