Well - 13 hours and counting before the big game. The Feather River Golden Eagles play their opener tomorrow at home against the #1 Northern California rated and #2 State rated Butte College Roadrunners. It is a grudge match of sorts...last year when the Golden Eagles played Butte they walked off the field with their 7th loss of the 2012 season which came down to the final play of the game - a touchdown catch that was ruled out of bounds.
This is the first official game that Wes has played in since High School - and that was a few years ago! Last year's season ending knee injury at Snow College came just weeks before the season and resulted in a Red Shirt season and ultimately - a great opportunity to play for Coach Johnson and the Golden Eagles of Feather River in Quincy, California.
Things have been going well in Quincy. The family helped Wes and Kelsy move to Quincy in early August, along with long time friends Nate and Hailey Stroshine.
We had a couple days to explore Quincy with them before we headed back to Utah. We enjoyed taking a quite tour around campus and seeing the football field...what a beautiful setting to play some football!!
Practices started the next week and it didn't take long before friendships were being formed and great pictures started to appear...still early enough in the season that the name was not quite right...but WEST is pretty close!! This is a picture with three teammates after a scrimmage game.
Wes was excited to learn that he had been assigned the jersey he requested...his number is #21...
Okay...here is a few more pieces of information...
With no local radio broadcast of Golden Eagle football, you can still get live coverage of the Feather River - Butte game from the Chico Enterprise-Record. Just go to chicoer.com/buttefootball for streaming play-by-play, commentary and analysis, plus a live visual gamecast with up-to-date stats. We can only hope that the broadcasters will have a disappointing game to broadcast (as this is the home of the roadrunners)! I can guarantee that the Christensen family in Saudi Arabia will be up early Sunday morning our time listening for #21!!
