Making History!

Well they did it!!! The Muleshoe Mules made history this weekend when they won the Class 2A Division 1 STATE CHAMPIONSHIP! IT has been a week that Mule fans will not soon forget!





The festivities all began on Thursday at the Community Wide Pep Rally. It was Standing room only and the fans were EXCITED! Former principal, David Jenkins spoke, and fromer MULE Lincoln Riley (who is now a Tech coach) were 2 of the guest speakers. Also in attendance was SANTA! The Mule sat on his lap and asked for a STATE championship win. Santa delivered!!

Addyson hanging out with the MULE waiting for the pep rally to begin. (We got there 1 hour early to ensure a good seat. We had a GREAT Seat. I may have gone a tad to early!)

Head Coach David Wood giving a very emotional speech to the fans, town and the team!

Friday Morning was the Community wide send off. The football boys, coaches, cheerleaders, and families of the coaches left for Dallas about 9:00 AM. They took a detour in their charter buses and drove by all 3 schools. The kids made signs and yelled for the MULES. We were able to dismiss school at 1:30 to allow everyone to travel to Dallas on Friday if needed.

Kamron and Tyler are in the line of kids...do you see them??

There were TONS of signs and all the 3rd graders wore Mule ears! They were adorable.

We left as soon as school was out and headed to the Metroplex. As we were leaving Muleshoe there was a sign that read, "Last one out, TURN out the lights!!" I really wish I would have got a picture of it. It was priceless. I think the entire town was at the game.

We got to the 6:00 game at 3:30. Once again, I wanted good seats! LOL We had 5o yard line seats baby!!

Here is Tyler, Ashtyn, Kamron, Tamora and Addyson patiently waiting for the game to begin. I have to tell a story on Ashtyn, Tamora's 11 year old daughter. They live in Mansfield, large 5A school with a new stadium! She told me that they don't have high school football there, because they have not gone. I told her that they did indeed have football, it is just a tad different in a small town! The coin toss! (We won by the way)

Cheerleaders before the game.




Kirbyville was the wildcats. Our Mule and their Cat did the most adorable skit on each side before the game began. Of coarse on our side we knockeded down the CAT!!
