#59 Rocks
I am going to start this blog with an explanation. I know all too well that Texas is very proud of its high school football and although I live in Henrietta, I must also show my support for the Rider Raiders.... Why? Because of Cole Vitolo. I have been friends with Coles parents going on 15 years now and have watched him and his sister grow up. (You will remember Alex from an earlier blog) I was thrilled to be able to watch Cole play in his last 2 home games ever at Rider High. He is a senior this year and will be headed off to college soon. I know you hear some people say negative things about the "younger generation", but Cole and his friends are great kids who would make any parent proud. Here are some pictures from the Rider/Little Elm game....
This is Cole #59 he plays center
I love this picture...
School spirit....
Ok, every time they score a touch down , these kids do push ups. After the first score I watched them count out the 7 push ups. It took me a few more TD's to realize that they did push ups for every point earned... by the end of the first quarter I am pretty sure they wanted their team to take a break.
Another run towards the end zone....
ROHO
The final score of the game
These are from the Old High/Rider game. I love how the kids get together prior to running through the banner. They make this big circle and it is almost intoxicating to watch them chant and rock side to side...
No game is complete without cheerleaders
at half time the Dads got to "perform" with their daughters... don't let them kid ya, the Dads had a blast
Doesn't she look like her Daddy?
I will close by saying that the kids at this school, (not just the athletes) love their coach..
It does have a nice ring to it..... Way to go Cole and Rider Raiders, I hope you make it all the way to win State!!!!
