Four Btln Majors this year and four different winners. Congrats to Parker on his second Ping Pong Championship! D-pod put up a fight but in the end Parker was too much for him, Parker won three straight games to take the title. Parker now has three Btln Majors, Ping Pong in the 2005-06 season, The Btln Masters(golf) in the 2007-08 season and Ping Pong in the 2008-09 season. With one more Btln Major win Parker could tie the record for total Btln Majors with four.
Drew, D-pod, Sammy, Zac and Max all said a passage on the stage, I think that is the most guys that we have ever had saying a passage! It was awesome! There is nothing better than listening to guys quote Scripture, especially on Brigade Night in front of a crowd. You guys did Battalion proud! Sammy, Zac and Max finished the Memory Work for the first time, so Owen, Devin and I gave these guys their Btln Medallions on the stage, it was very cool!
Ben wrote "The Top Ten reasons to go to Battalion" and again I am amazed how he is able to write it every year and it always has everyone laughing. Good job Ben! Drew, D-pod and Sammy read the top ten and did a good job considering they didn't see it until just before the service started. I will put the top ten on the blog later this week.
Thanks to Dan, Phil and Charlie for coming out and supporting us! Thanks again to John, Howard and Bill(check the previous post)for making the trip from the coast.
We have lots to be thankful for over the last thirty years, I pray that in thirty years we can have even more to be thankful for.

I feel that it should also be mentioned in that list that i have also won winston
Very true, sorry about that Drew. Not sure how to classify Winston. It has to be better than winning a major.
The medalions are so awsome the guys that havn't done the verses should definetly do them plus it comes with a free four day trip
