Congratulations to another Shattuck Indian state championship team. \u00a0The football boys won Shattuck’s 10th state football championship. \u00a0Throw in the Shattuck Lady Indians softball state championship in fast-pitch softball this fall and they are having a gold ball kind of year. \u00a0Oh and those Lady Indians also won slow-pitch back in May 2017. \u00a0Shattuck already has earned 3 gold balls in 2017.<\/p>\n
The scary part is that the basketball teams are dang competitive, baseball came within a game of the state tourney last spring and Shattuck had the 3rd overall golfer last spring. \u00a0And the robotics team was 4th in their 4 state regional. \u00a0And the choir wins LOTS and LOTS. \u00a0And the Speech group wins. \u00a0And the FFA is as well rounded as any.<\/p>\n
The hardest thing as a teacher in Shattuck is sharing kids. \u00a0Very small school. \u00a0High expectations. \u00a0It is a juggling act. \u00a0For the teachers, coaches, ag teacher, administration, parents–all of the above.<\/p>\n
Basically, I’m just telling you, we’ve got good kids in Shattuck America.<\/p>\n
Did Duke play? \u00a0No. \u00a0My brother Jake was on Shattuck’s first state title team in ’91 and was all-state in baseball. \u00a0Tammy played on Arnett basketball teams that won a lot including the ’89 state runner-up team. \u00a0But, this genetic mating managed to not pass any athletic genes to our son. \u00a0However, he went to the game. \u00a0Which meant that I stayed home to do chores. \u00a0Tammy and I listened on the radio. \u00a0One of my favorite Ag Mecker kids was named player of the game–Riley Girton–the only senior on the team. \u00a0His dad and I graduated high school together. \u00a0Small towns rule!<\/p>\n
Saturday AM, we will load 28 FFA kids on a bus to go to MFE and ALD in OKC. \u00a0Our bus driver will drive to tonight’s game, get home, park the bus at his house, get up and drive these kids to the city. \u00a0Yes, his son is going and is a starter on both sides of the line.<\/p>\n
Congrats to the kids, school, community and parents for another win. \u00a0You can watch the crap on the news or watch the kids in Shattuck America. \u00a0We’ve got good kids!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
