Well the boys had a good practice tonight, the TOUCHDOWN CLUB fed 80 kids after their practice. Thank you, TD CLUB and a special TEDDY thanks to those parents that step up for all the kids it makes my heart go pitter patter with joy knowing the brotherhood is fed well the night before. Hopefully they all get some good rest and are ready for the big game. Now our boys are ready, the TD Clubs ready to blaze some red and gold around the Bellevue High Bowl. I know Cheer and Drill have been working hard and the greatest news of all our marching bands going to be there for the full game. Because I am in the know I hear there are lots of giveaways that light up so red and gold blinking light stuff, rings, bracelets, pompoms; some on sale and some given away. I did see there special Homecoming Pricing across the board...we hope our Alumni have a blast and we hope if you see them you will say hi and welcome home maybe not our actual home but surrounded by Knight love the Knights family is strong and we are going to be proud and loud and glowing in red and gold. I am looking forward to seeing you all and let's get Rowdy Newport let's kick some butt. Hey Joel I saw some bear snack cookies what the heck? What's that some kinda voodoo cookie thing?

Well friends here we are HOCO Week...I remember back at the beginning of the season when we all learned this HOME away from HOME deal was looming and we were all like how the heck are we going to do that? Well the truth is as KNIGHTS we are tough, creative, smart and very resourceful. Now we have had some tough games on the field but I want to remind you as a team and a school we are way bigger than the score on the scoreboard. For instance we have been thrown some curves and we always overcome logistics and we rally together to make it right and most of all have fun, we put together the best Friday Knights that we can with the resources we have. I hope everyone pulls together this week and shows up and fills the stands in Knight force. As The Touchdown Club we also continue to encourage the parents of any football player to step up, its your time to shine and do what you can to help out. There are always things we need help with and volunteering is a big part of what we do but let me tell ya a little secret, many friendships and camaraderie occurs and it's a blast. You can really help out by buying up a stack of Car Wash Tickets so we can continue to feed our boys, when 80 hungry football players sit down to eat let me tell ya it's a project to pull together so if you donate time, spend a few bucks at the Knight Market, and please just buy Car Wash Tickets, it all goes to making the experience of Knight Football a bigger and better deal for the kids they see us do good and your kid will appreciate it. But the Touchdown Club does so much more, we giveaway lots of stuff at every home game, we keep prices as low as possible when we sell things, we have to create displays, buy banners, tents, merchandise and so on; it's a lot to do and support...I just want you to know that without the hard work that goes on behind the scenes a lot of this stuff just would not happen, our boosters are the best, but just like coaches ask our players to dig deep we want just a little bit more help and support from you to push us to do better for the kids. We love smiles and fun, yes we love to win to, but as a Teddy Bear my greatest feelings come when I see smiles and hear someone say, that was fun tonight, you might say I was brought on to comfort and bring smiles and have fun through this HOME away from HOME times but let me tell ya its infectious, we work hard and can't wait to work harder. So that having been said, we promise HOCO is going to be fun, don't miss out if you are going to come, come early visit the Knight Market buy some swag and let's get rowdy! Let's rock the bowl at Bellevue High....heck I was there last week for their HOCO along with many of you and really I think our attendance will be much greater and will show our color and school pride. Let's show Bellevue how NEWPORT parties and let's have a blast! Look out for free giveaways and special HOCO deals throughout the game. Don't forget to snap a pic with me because well you can and should besides what if Joel puts me away after this season you know when we have things all back to normal you just never know...I hope I am around, but who knows. So snap a pic, pick up some beads or Knight gear, you know at the market the prices are fair and there are lots of great market deals and remember every penny goes back to the kids whether we give things away to the student body or let me remind ya one more time again our football playing Knights, well they can eat. Parents please step up make that donation of time or money we need to keep the momentum going it's time to spread the word THE TOUCHDOWN CLUBS ready to share some joy and have some HOCO FUN!
GO KNIGHTS -TOUCHDOWN TEDDY The Newport Kights fought the Bellevue Wolverines on their home turf. With their stands filled to 3/4 capacity. The Bellevue Wolverines celebrated their Homecoming as they rolled over the Knights.
This is a typically strong Wolverine team lead by a fast paced driving offense. The Knights fought hard and did manage a few spectacular touchdowns, one 99 yard kick off return by Jonny Alcombrack and beautifully thrown long bomb from Cole Oliver to Cortez Fields. You know I felt the joy of a win come over me as those to plays happend, we got some tough guys but more importantly we have a lot of heart we dug deep and we got a few scores in, but in the end our boys climbed a mountain to get to the fence to let us say thank-you, good job, stay tough! "The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall." - Vince Lombardi Joel you there? Hey can you hear me? I was wondering why was Bellevue's stands not full tonight? We had an awesome showing on our side of the field, I mean it was their homecoming. I know you got some neat stuff planned and some free giveaways and stuff, I know our Home away from Home Homecoming will be a blast. Tonight I heard they had some alumni guys return from the 80's, I hear we got our first football team showing up the 66-67 season now that's cool, do you think you can hook me up so I can get my picture taken with them? -TOUCHDOWN TEDDY |
