Powder puff football team...Melissa is on right hand side 2nd row
We had Melissa's last football game of the year (more on this later) and it was a little sad I must admit. We have been going to watch her cheer for 4 years now and have seen her grow into this wonderful young lady. She is interested in doing cheer in college too and has recently started taking a class called "flight school" at Summit gymnastics and the owner there said there are a lot of scholarships out there and would love to help Melissa apply for them. So this flight school is where she goes for 2 hours and partner stunts with a couple NAU cheer guys and learns how to stunt with one person rather than a group of girls which is what she is used to. She went last night and said she enjoyed it and was able to do quite a few things. She said a standing back tuck seems impossible now but I know she will "get it"
The football game the other night was kinda crazy when the 4th quarter started 3 Coconino guys came running out in red "unitards" or shall I say "body suits" for Alex, they ran across the field at the NAU dome and one came over to the cheerleaders, picked Melissa up swung her around and then took off for the doors. Then the Flag high principal took off running faster than any 50 year old man I have ever seen and actually caught one, but hurt his knee in the process> poor kid was 18 so they threw his behind in jail for the night (LAME) and Melissa's boyfriend Alex was the one that picked her up and he didn't get caught but they knew who he was so he got reprimanded and was suspended for 3 days. He and his friends wrote apology letters tot he administrations. I stood by Melissa as she was questioned by the police officer and she was honest about it. It really was just kids having fun. No big deal. So we will see if they press charges. Crazy huh?
