9-6-05

Survived Labor Day weekend. That's always an accomplishment as we always have a birthday party for Justin over this weekend.
His birthday is the second. He's 17 now. Very hard to believe. He was only nine when I started dating his mother, who eventually became my wife. Derik had just turned seven.
He tore up the clutch in his truck on his birthday. So he had to spend the weekend working on his truck with parts thrown here and there.
That always looks good in the old front yard. My wife has a big family and most of them came over. I was the cooker, as usual. I cooked so many burgs that we had a grease fire and almost caught the house on fire, or at least the deck.
I'm still not used to being around that many people in a small setting like a house. A mall, yes, but not a house. We still had a good time.
Heavener played its first game of the season Friday. The Wolfies pretty much were blown out at halftime, trailing 34-16. A lot of people left, not that you could blame them. Pocola was in complete control.
But then the second-half started. Heavener took the opening drive and basically shoved it down Pocola's throats. Then, the Wolves scored again. Early in the fourth quarter, they drove inside Pocola's 10 but fumbled.
Finally, Heavener got the ball back with a little over seven minutes left. The Wolves slowly drove the ball down the field and capped the drive with a TD pass with only 1:42 left. It was the only completed pass of the game, but a big one.
Pocola could not do anything with the ball and Heavener escaped with the win, the biggest comeback I have ever seen from Heavener.
A wild game.
College football in Oklahoma does not look very promising after the opening weekend. OU lost at home to TCU, 17-10. Then OSU beat Montana State, 15-10. Ugh. We've been blessed with some really good football teams over the last few years.
Right now, that doesn't appear to be the case.
Heavener Online continues to grow. We've had around 2,800 hits and the site has only been up for a little over a week. Hopefully, more people will hear about it and start visiting. We're continuing to add more stuff every day.
Several people have contributed stories, which were really good. I hope more people start doing this as that is why I started the site.
Gotta work. Adios.
