Undefeated wrestling in season

Dalton had a great Frazee tourney and Tanner got to see him wrestle for the first time this season.  Finishing up a few last minute things before our trip.  Looking forward to some warm weather and football!  No decisions on a school yet but blessed with many offers!  Tanner is home and filling in at the Mill and Tabor is loving his job and looking forward to joining us mid trip.

Undefeated and going strong

We have had a whirl wind of great football honors and we will post all those things once we get back from Orlando.  Dalton remains undefeated wrestling as we head up north to Frazee this weekend.  Excited to have all the boys home during Christmas break and what are the odds the Gophers are playing in the bowl game we are going to?  Lot's of travels in our near future so far.

Wild 3 week update

It is hard to believe that football has been over for 3 weeks now.  We are still wrapping up some awards.  The Elliott's have been busy going on college visits and we will finish up our football year in Orlando at the All American game where Dalton will play.
Tabor had lots of success deer hunting this fall and we are enjoys all kinds of sausage and jerky.  Tanner came home for Thanksgiving as we celebrated it with Grandpa and Grandma Elliott.  This weekend we will be at the Mr. Football Banquet as Dalton has been named one of the top ten football players in Minnesota.  Then on 12/6 we have our first wrestling tourney in St. James.

STATE!

 What an amazing season!  So many broken records and excellent plays.  Our run for a state champion title ended yesterday but we have some much exciting new to share in the up coming weeks.  Thank you to all who supported us and the well wishes from so many area fans has been unbelievable !  This week we have the National Honor Society Banquet on Monday night then Tuesday we are in New Ulm for the KNUJ player of the year.

And our BIG announcement today is that Dalton was name a finalist for Mr. Football so Thanksgiving week will be filled with fun activities including seats to see the MN Vikings.

 

Play off time!

Hard to believe that our regular games are all over and it's time for play offs!  Tuesday night we host GHEC and every game is a gift.  Hard to believe we have been blessed to be a part of Raider football for the past 8 years.

Raiders on a roll

We have a short week as we will play on Wednesday night in our final Senior Night for the Elliott Family.  Another broken state record as we prep for the playoffs.  Keep the boys in your prayers!

On a roll and green lights ahead

  We have had a great couple of weeks and the football team is doing a great job.  Dalton was chosen KNUJ player of the week and now hold the State of MN all purpose yards record holder.  We have had another great game day college visit.  And NO decisions yet on where to go to college.  With the weather changing we are all packed up at the Lake Jefferson and finishing up on canning the tomatoes and the apples.....October is a big month of birthdays for our families so lots to celebrate.

The Royal Court 2014

Raiders are 3-0 to start 2014 season





Sorry we didn't get week 2 game update, but the Raiders came away with a 68-28 victory over Fulda.  On to week 3 and a match up with the #6 ranked team in the state, Edgerton/Ellsworth Flying Dutchmen.  It was a great game with the lead changing hands 5 times before the Raiders were able to make a stand on a 2 point conversion with 1:03 left in the game to preserve the lead.  Recovery of the onside kick and a couple of kneel down and the Raiders are 3-0.  For the game Dalton had 298 yards passing with 2 tds and 57 yards rushing (lost 27 yards on 1 sack and 3 kneel downs) and 1 rushing td.

 

This Friday we have RIVALRY week as we head to Cleveland to face the Clippers.  All of the Elliott Boyz will be in attendance as Tabor make the trip south and Tanner is making the long drive north.

Crazy busy week

Well here we go...let's see how much stuff we can do in one week!  The puppies are 3 weeks old and starting to explore and develop attitudes!  Unbelievable how their looks change everyday.  They are looking like GUS more and more everyday!

Darin and Tanner had a great (LONG) drive home from Boston but brought home LIVE Lobster and we had a sea food boil.  Grandpa and Grandma King joined us for a hot humid meal on the deck.  But it was so good!

Our one and only niece Khloe  started Kindergarten this week!   So excited to see her start school.

Tabor and Dalton we to the Vikings game on Saturday night.  They saw a great pre-season game

 Well they don't scream when you put them into a boiling pot of water but they do rub their whiskers together for this growling sound.  Next week FOOTBALL
