WE DID IT!!!

Aaaaggghhhhh!!!

I am so nervous for tonight's game that I don't know what to do with myself so I am letting you all in on it.  It's too early to go freeze at the field but I can't seem to find anything to take my mind off of it so I'm embracing it and writing about it.  Hunter's football team is in the CIF quarterfinals tonight and we are playing Rancho Bernardo.  They have the same record as us, 8-2, and we have beaten them once this year but only by 3.  The paper predicts that we will win by 1 point.  If we lose then it's all over.  No more Friday night lights, no more running for the paper on Saturday mornings to see what they wrote about my son and no more bonding with the greatest kids and parents I've ever had the pleasure to know.  The pressure is ridiculous.  We were in this situation last year but Hunter was a junior so I knew we had a whole 'nother year to have these experiences.  Now he's a senior and this could be it.  I can't seem to wrap my mind around that fact.  3 years ago when he was a freshman he was invited to come up to the varsity team for playoffs.  We made it all the way to the championship game that year.  Unfortunately, he also got picked to be on the varsity basketball team with his senior brother and they had a big tournament on the same night as the championship football game.  Since he knew he would never have the chance to play with his brother again because of the age difference he chose to not participate in the thrill of standing on the sidelines at Qualcomm Stadium.  This is his last chance to make it to Qualcomm and I can't tell you how badly I want this for him.  If any of you read this in the next 3 hours please send a little prayer out for the Mission Hills Grizzlies and especially their quarterback, Hunter Moore.  Thanks!
