Alumni Sports Day 2010
The actives and alumni got together Saturday afternoon for our annual Sports Day and BBQ. With the help of bright sunshine, and competitive blood, the brothers played a game of Pigskin in honor of our neighbors to the south for Independence Day, and soccer, fueled by the intensity surrounding the Word Cup.
Quarterbacks Ben Graham (alumni) and Dave (potential rushee) each passed for many touchdowns. However, Dave would have done a lot better had Gerald not dropped all the balls in the end zone! Graham and Jeff Blake (active) found each other in the end zone throughout the game to keep the score a healthy lead. Active Brother Anthony Bryson also had some surprising catches, and runs.
Between games we took a break, listening to Tim Laidler’s (alumni, former House Manager) brilliant story of Nathan Woolard (alumni) in the classroom.
We followed up with a game of soccer. Adrien “Brick Wall” Lee, goalkeeper (alumni), was a beast in stopping many breakaway runs.
Tired from running around, and beaten up by bare feet on turf, we headed to the house for BBQ and Beer. Brother Blake manned the grill, churning out 30 plus burgers and a few dozen hot dogs to hungry Alpha delt’s. With grilled onions, fresh tomato and lettuce, the food was a hit. We shared stories, laughed, and enjoyed the company of our brothers – active and alumni – as many of the actives have not been around since the end of the school year.
Then we cracked a few beers and the rest is a blur… Just kidding, someone had the bright idea of freezing the 30 pack so it turned out to be a refreshing beer … slurpee. Mmmmm.
