Today was a busy day. Mark, Robert and I volunteered at the Ronald McDonald house downtown Louisville starting at 9:00 AM. We volunteered with the Thiess family. They are so wonderful to work with.
Mark and I brought the sausage and bacon, they brought the pancake mix and syrup.
We cooked enough to feed 80-100 people.
Whenever we are there Betsy also organizes their pantry. It's always left in a disarray but she tries to make it nice and organized.
After the service at Ronald McDonald house Robert had a basketball game at 1 PM against Louisville 2nd Ward. It was a great game! Great sportsmanship, great athleticism, and a nice win. Robert had an awesome game! It's so fun to watch him play!

Another Win for Creasey FC - way to go Robert
Betsy snuck into a Creasey FC game with her camera and video recorder to capture some indoor soccer moments.
Robert doesn't like the parents to come so he can just relax and have fun with the guys and gals on the team.
They had a great game winning again!! They are undefeated!!!
Betsy came late and left early.

Victorious basketball game against LaGrange
Today will be the hardest basketball game of the season. The coach, Stock Longhurst is home sick so Mark Lowe is coaching. We are playing the #1 team in the league, LaGrange - they have tall guys and are undefeated. We are undefeated too, so this is for the #1 spot.
Robert takes the tip and the game is on...
It is a close game the whole time. At first LaGrange is up by 2 but then we come back and tie it. At the end of the first quarter LaGrange has a 12-9 lead.
In the second quarter Harmony dominates, and takes the lead.
In the third quarter we maintain our momentum but do not dominate.
In the forth quarter we rock. Robert, Ryan, Mason and Sam score key baskets.
Harmony boys win by 3: 40-37.
AWESOME!!!!

Another Creasey FC win
After a full day of sports, Robert and Ryan Geoghegan had a soccer game at 6:30 against KCD players (I think).
They had a great game winning by 2 points. Final score was 8-10.
I don't have any photos because Robert likes for these games to be just with his peers - no parents.

Boys Basketball - Harmony vs Crestwood 2nd - arch rivals
It's the BIG day, the first basketball game of the season and it's against one of the toughest teams in the league - Crestwood 2nd Ward. Crestwood 2nd (C2) has Ryan Dodson, Josh McComber (6' 2") and other talented players. They will be hard to beat.
Ryan Geoghegan showed up at our house around 11:00. We had pancakes for breakfast and then Robert and Ryan went to the stake center to warm up. Mark and I came about 10 minutes before the game.
The Harmony team consisted of: Robert Lowe, Ryan Geoghegan, Nash Dewsnup, Noah McKinley, Andrew Tarbet, Jate Longhurst and Ben Dobson. Many of the boys couldn't be there: Mason Rice (swim meet) (Robert's soccer friend), Ben O'Brien (swim meet) and Sam O'Brien (broken finger).
Today's game started at 12:30 pm. We are the home team. Robert took the tip and won the toss. Robert scores the first basket of the game - a nice drive and layup. Then we score again, then Crestwood 2nd. Robert and Ryan were a great team against C2. At the end of the first quarter we were 9-11 - we have the lead. During the second quarter, Robert had to be out for 4 minutes. In those 4 minutes C2 took the lead and advanced it to 25-14. OUCH!!! Our team could not stop Ryan Dodson from scoring. Robert started the third quarter. He took charge and control. He and Ryan Geoghegan did a fantastic job of distributing the ball. With only 49 seconds left in the 3rd quarter, Harmony tied the score at 26-26. Then they scored again with only 15.5 seconds left 28-26. The crowd goes crazy (not really, but boy we were excited). Someone had fouled Robert on a shot just a the buzzer so he got to take a free throw - swoosh - He scored one of the two. End of 3rd quarter 29-26. They not only caught up but they took the lead!!! Fourth quarter we just continued the scoring - we scored 2 more baskets (33-26) before they scored again. With 2 minutes remaining in the game the score was 37-30 (a 7 point lead). In the last 2 minutes everyone was hustling, C2 was desperate to score. There also was a lot of turn over and fouls. One of C2's players fouled out. Harmony held onto the lead winning the game 37-33.
Way to go - HARMONY!!!
After the game Robert and Ryan went to support Mason and Ben at the swim meet. Mason and Ben both dive. Mason took 1st place, and Ben took 2nd. After the swim meet, Robert and Ryan had there own Creasey Mahan soccer game to get to... they won that game also - by a lot!!!
Betsy invited Ryan and D-Roy (David Roy) to have steaks and ribs with us after their game. It was a great night. The boys played ping pong, chess and basketball outside.

Regional Finals vs Oldham County - Biggest Victory of the Season
Hype for the Regional Championship was awesome. Photos again were posted on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
Get your SPIRIT ON!!!
Betsy made a huge banner that hung in the main hallway at NOHS. The whole team liked the spirit.
The game took place on Thursday, October 20, 2016 at Martha Layne Collins High School against Oldham County HS.
Twice before these two teams have played against each other. Twice we have out hustled OCHS but not won. NOT TONIGHT.
Tonight is not the best weather. It's predicting rain to start before the game ends. Keeping our fingers crossed it holds off.
Tonight the game was electric. NOHS was on fire. The starting line up was Max, Robert, Ryan, Dylan, Parker, Mason, Matthew, Nathan, Conner, Blake and Kaleb.
During a small break in the first half, Coach Altoff came and talked to Robert. He must have given him some good advice because Robert was on FIRE!!!
NOHS out hustled, out played, out ran, out shot and our SCORED OCHS! First goal was by Dylan Smith, the second goal was by Mason Rice. The third goal was by Ryan Geoghegan, (there was a huge celebration after the goal - see photo) and the fourth goal was by Robert Lowe.
All the parents are on pins and needles waiting for the final outcome of the game. OCHS could come back - but NOHS fights till the bitter end to secure the game.
The final score was NOHS 4- OCHS 0.
Victory over OCHS was monumental. Robert helped his team to another victory. They all played so well. It was a well deserved win!
Robert was on fire for the Regional Tournament.
He scored 4 goals, and had 3 assists in 3 games. Dylan Smith scored 1 goal, Mason scored 3 goals. Nathan Ball did an amazing job defending, too.
Robert Lowe, Dylan Smith, Mason Rice and Nathan Ball were named All Regional Players.
