2010 Christmas Tournament Champs!!

The Thatcher Eagles pulled off an amazing win over the Safford Bulldogs to win the 2010 EAC Christmas Holiday Basketball Tournament on 12-29-10. It was a tight game with Safford in the lead most of the game. The Eagles were down by 6 at the half and came back to take the lead during the 3rd quarter. The fourth quarter was crazy....finally Thatcher was ahead by 1 with one minute left in the game. Koby was 6 for 6 from the free throw line during that last minute of play and Thatcher ended up winning the game by 6. WOW! It was intense but it's the kind of game everyone was hoping for. It's really too bad there had to be a loser because they all played their hearts out. But the EAGLES will gladly take the win and the trophy. It was a great night!

Here are some more pictures of Koby in action.....one thing that is really cool...Koby has grown up playing all sports with the kids on the Safford team and he has been able to stay good friends with them. They play hard against each other, but when it's all over...they are friends first. I think that is amazing and make me so happy and proud.

December is here.....

Koby and Gentry made a beautiful couple as they went to Girls Dance together. Aren't they adorable????


ROUND VALLEY TOURNAMENT December 9-11, 2010



Koby and the Thatcher Eagles traveled to Springerville for the annual Round Valley Basketball tournament. We, as usual, followed the team up north for a few days. The Eagles had a great tournament this year and only lost one of the 6 games they played and that was a close game in overtime. However, they did end up winning the Consolation Bracket. It was beautiful weather this year, NO SNOW!!! We had a great time together and supporting the EAGLES. As you can see from the picture, Cassi is having a little trouble giving up basketball now that she has moved on to college. She found herself helping the team by taking stats, she looked right at home on the bench with her former team!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!! :)

Its game time.....

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with friends and family!!! I love this holiday and I miss Grandma and Grandpa Carter as we celebrate Thanksgiving. I am so grateful for them and the legacy they have left. I am proud to be a part of their family. I am also grateful for my mom and Dan and all they do for each of us kids. We are truly lucky to have such wonderful parents. My siblings are awesome as well and all of their kiddos. IT makes me happy to be around such great people. So, I guess that means we are officially into the HOLIDAY season now and you know what that means.........IT's TIME FOR some BASKETBALL!!!! Here we go KOBY!!!!! Good Luck to the Thatcher Eagle Basketball team!!!
