We had an amazing Last Night of Battalion! 46 guys showed up for the "Last Night" of 2023! We started the night with the Battalion favourite, Murderball! At "Last Night" in 2019 we played four games, but this year we played five games! This year Brennan's team won the first three games! Lance's team finally had a victory, winning the fourth game. Brennan's team had one more victory, winning the fifth and final game. The series ended with Brennan's team beating Lance's team with a score of 4-1.
After Murderball we did the Btln 3739 Grad ceremony! We had 3 Battalion Grads this year! Jaxon, Derek, and Kyle were each given a piece of paper with the English translation of the Hebrew saying that is on the back of our shirts! Keeping with Btln tradition, the Grads ate the piece of paper after reading the translation. The Grads are only allowed to tell the Hebrew saying to one person, and that person is the girl they marry! Next the grads got to pick out a Medallion, and then received their Battalion 3739 dog tags. Congrats to the 2023 Battalion grads!
Next Luke and Mataeus finally showed up with the sub sandwich party platters from Subway! Subway wasn't able to make the 9 foot part sub this year, so we ordered 7 subway party platters! There was still just as much sub to eat, and the boys devoured the subs really fast!
While the boys were eating their subs, Mataeus and Matthias both recited a passage in front of the boys for the Memory Work! Mataeus recited 1 Corinthians 13:1-13, and Matthias recited Romans 8:28-39. Both Mataeus and Matthias recieved double points for reciting their passages in front of the boys. Good work guys!
Once Mataeus recited his passage, he completed the Memory Work! Congrats to Mataeus Weilmeier! This is Mataeus's first time ever completing the Btln 3739 Memory Work! Once the night was over, Mataeus received his Btln Medallion! Welcome to the world of Gentleman, Mataeus!
Congrats to Coady Walt on receiving his Btln Medallion tonight as well! Coady has served as a leader for many years now, and finally got to pick out his Btln Medallion! Coady received his Medallion at the end of the night after Mataeus. Welcome to the world of Gentleman, Coady!
After the passages were recited, we took the group photo. Then it was time for the final British Bulldog of the Btln year! Bulldog on "Last Night" is always super exciting with all the extra guys in the gym! Caleb Martens was our final Helmet winner of the 2022/23 Btln Season! Congrats to Caleb!
This year the Winston Champion was Aiden Burch! Congrats to Aiden! Brennan was super close to winning Winston, with tonight's British Bulldog deciding whether Aiden or Brennan was going to be the Winston champ! Brennan got taken down, making Aiden this year's Winston champion! Aiden had an awesome year with 5 Helmets and 2 Majors! Aiden won Wrestling and Olympics this year! Congrats again to Aiden!
Congrats again to the 2023 Battalion 3739 Grads!
