Cokeville News

So we just had the big Cokeville volleyball tournament. Alta High School played Campbell County for the championship. Alta won in four. Your Cokeville team did okay, but fell to Campbell County in four the first round and struggled against Bear Lake to end up getting beat out. The match of the day was between Bonneville out of Idaho Falls and Alta. The fifth game the score was 13 to 8, favor of Bonneville. Alta started to make a run. The score on the scoreboard showed 14 to 10 favor Bonneville. Bonneville called a timeout, during the timeout, the officials noticed the scoreboard had the wrong score, it should have been 13 to 11. The change was made against complaints by Bonneville. (The rule states that the official book is the correct book no matter what and it was 13 to 11). After the timeout, Alta continued its run and ended winning 15 to 13. What a comeback! It was great volleyball. For those of you who remember an official from Preston, Idaho, Randy Moser (the guy with the zipper problem), hung up his whistle by tying it to the bottom of the net. After over 30 years, he had decided to call it quits as an official. It was quite emotional.

The football team had a scrimmage against Wind River. This scrimmage was for three quarters and the fourth was mainly a practice session. I guess Cokeville didn't do so well, but the coaches had high hopes for the coming season.

With all of the excitement of volleyball and football going on in Cokeville, the greatest news was finding out that Shari is going to have twin boys. Boys, what a shock that was. We were expecting girls at the least, not boys. Way to go Ben!! Grandma Norene was telling me that she has the same number of grandsons as granddaughters. Her great-granddaughters were ahead by two, but with the knowledge of these two new ones, she now has the same number of great-grandsons as great-granddaughters, that is why Shari was to have boys. 

Sorry, no pictures this week, but I hope to have some by next week. We love viewing everyone's posts, I should say Ellen loves it, I'm too busy to catch everyones. Keep the posting going.
