start of the season

This is Matt's first season as a head high school basketball coach and practice started this past week. This morning his team had their first scrimmage and Matteo and I went to watch. It's very likely that this will be the only game he makes it to because the regular season games start at 7:30 p.m., half an hour after he goes to bed.

The school's nickname is the Purgolders. What's a Purgolder? Why it's what you get when you combine the school colors, purple + gold.



Their mascot's name is Peppy the Purgolder - not super intimidating, but pretty darn cute.
