Halloween 2008

West hosted New Bern Friday night. We left a bowl of candy on the front porch and a note saying we were not home, but "help yourself." When we returned the bowl was empty.....wonder how long that took?
The game was ugly from the beginning. The West defense obviously didn't realize it was a home game and went to New Bern. The offense did fairly well; Jackson only had 2 punts for a 16 yard average.....yes 16 yards. Here is the first one

This one was blocked; it was the first time this year that the receiving team has blocked a punt cleanly.

We're proud of Jackson, he made some good decisions this weekend, not the least of which was to not kick the guy who tackled the West player on the blocked kick. Watch closely and you'll see Jackson charging down the field wanting to hit somebody; fortunately he didn't, there were enough cheap shots taken during the game; even the Morehead City newspaper chided the West team for late hits and punches.
Bobby and I caught lots of fish this weekend; the weather was pretty and the fish cooperated, but we had to work for them both days. On Saturday we caught some VA mullet, blues, and grey trout. Sunday we went offshore and after a slow morning found a good trout bite at AR 315. We also kept some pretty hogfish, blues, and a nice flounder which I believe was my first or second keeper this year. Our marine diet continues through this week................
