BTLN UPDATE - LAST NIGHT

 

Another Last Night is in the books! I can't believe that the year is already over! Congrats to GeRRald, Austin and Max on a great finish to the Winston Championship! (More on that later!)

So many guys showed up, it was amazing! The night started with Murderball. Ben's team took the first two games but my team battled back to tie the score 2-2! The final game went to Ben's team giving Ben bragging rights for the summer!

Next we brought out the 9 foot party sub from Subway! Which the guys devoured!

The Btln Grad ceremonies were next. We gave Jordan, Cody, GeRRald, Austin, Dan D and Dart a Study Bible. (Study being the key word here guys!) The guys also got a Btln dog tag and a copy of the Hebrew saying.(In English.) After they guys read the saying they ate the paper, as per tradition!

The traditional group photo, cake(made by Maxwell)and then on to Bulldog! Austin sacrificed himself early so that he could take out GeRRald and Max. Landon had lots of help early making it easier to take out some of the other bigger guys. Cody Harp took the last Helmet of the year and the last of his Btln career!(Sad isn't it?) Congrats Cody! This was Cody's second Helmet of the year!

With the tie in the Winston standings we needed a tiebreaker for the first time ever! The Football Toss was a tough test with everyone watching. There were only two footballs that hit the target! Austin hitting 1 for 5 and both GeRRald and Max going 0 for 5. Max graciously bowed out of the tiebreaker, setting up a final tiebreaker between Austin and GeRRald! The final tiebreaker was a best of three Box Hockey tourney! (I love Box Hockey!) Austin dominated and won the first game taking the lead 1-0. GeRRald battled back in the second spending most of the game in Austin's end. GeRRald got the win in the second game tying the series 1-1. GeRRald dominated the last game taking the win, the tiebreaker and Winston! Congrats GeRRald you are a worthy Champion! Austin and GeRRald were both great sports and put on an amazing show!

The Memory Work is still our priority at Btln and this week Luke Martens finished the Memory Work! Congrats Luke! Luke is only the second grade seven ever to complete the Memory Work!(Max was the first!) Noah Makortoff is also getting close to completing the Memory Work! Actually so is Jake Hachey! So stoked about the guys doing the Memory Work!

We gave Winston to GeRRald, we prayed and then the night and the year were both over!(Almost over.)

The grade eleven's and twelve's, Btln Leaders and Alumni went to the Station for the Last Night Afterparty! More food and good times! (The grads received there Btln Medallions at the Afterparty!) And then the night (Last Night) was truly over!

Thanks to all the guys that came out!

Thanks to all the leaders that have helped throughout the year! Ben, Jason, Nathan B, Jake, Zach and Nathan K! Without your help we could not have had Btln this year!

Thanks to Max for the amazing cake!

Thanks to Sam and Jeff for your help in the kitchen!

Thanks also to Tyler Francis for coming out this week, it is awesome when Alumni can come out on a Wednesday Night!
