The day before we found out we had a young stud in the oven I polled all of my students to see what they predicted we would have. I made the game a little more relevant to them as I offered five bonus points on our next test to those that correctly predicted the sex. And wouldn't you know, they completely nailed it. 70 predicted boy and only 31 won't be receiving extra credit. I only got one complaint from one of the girl pickers, btw. She said, "Well, that's not fair!" To which I replied, "Well, at least you got SOMETHING right!" Anyway, it was pretty neat when we found out because I had told the doc about the bonus point experiment. The way he told us was, "Well, Michael, it looks like you're going to be giving out a lot of extra credit...." It took a second to sink in, and then he confirmed with a smile, "you're having a boy." Pretty cool.
In district golf news....
One round of district 2-3A is in the books and all I can say is the view is good from the top! The boys opened up on the beautiful, majestic, awesome (can you tell this sarcastic yet?), amazing track...not to be mistaken for Augusta National...Sweetwater Country Club. They shot a respectable 299 (72, 73, 73, 81, 84) and hold a 14 shot lead over Snyder and 22 over Graham JV. Yep, our JV boys stepped up (okay they careered it..321..) but they are definitely scaring some people. We'll look to pad the lead Monday as we play round 2 in Graham.
The girls are sitting in 2nd place, but only by three shots. They will have to play well to get out of this district, but it is very doable (The top two teams go to the regional tournament in Lubbock). We go from round 1 at Breckenridge Country Club to Fairway Oaks in Abilene for the next round. That's basically like going from a bologna sandwich to a medium-rare 12 ounce ribeye at Ruth's Chris. Here's to hoping that the appetite for steaks, birdies, and pars is quite large come Tuesday. Wish us luck.
