GCHRC looking for a driver
There are generally rivalries between schools in athletics. Many years ago, I remember Navasota and Brenham did not play well together. Well, Somerville and Snook have this ongoing issue, too. As I see people across the court on the home side, I actually wave at people and my daughter gets a text from the home side, “your mother is at the door!” Diana Lara was on the opposite side also and she lives right down the road from me.
To make my point, towards the end of the Lady Yeguas game, I see an arm flying and getting the bifocals to focus on the person takes a while. I realize that the arm is attached to my very own, Bryanna Grace. Even though the Snook player was a friend and she was almost lying flat on the court, Bree took a swing ending up with a technical foul. Her reasoning was, “she hit me first!” Booger Red and Leslie please understand she is raised between two very big brothers.
The rivalry extended to the cheerleaders, too. Bree ran to change outfits after her game as she is the captain of the group. Somerville has four where Snook had 11. It just so happens that Bree’s tumbling instructor is also the resource officer at Snook. So, she had to show off with her abilities. Actually, she does not really surprise me anymore because she is her mother’s daughter!
Salem Lutheran hosted a special social to honor Pastor and Mrs. Mayerhoff as the official Salem Lutheran Church vacancy pastor this past Sunday. The actual event was very informal with goodies provided by members of the Ladies Circle. We are honored to have them at our church.
