On Friday night, Ava Grace, Cece, and I attended a re-dedication of the football stadium in Myrtle Beach. For those of you who don't know, my dad was the head football coach and athletics director at MBHS for 25 years until he suddenly passed away in the fall of 1994. After his passing, the city decided to name the football stadium after him for all of his accomplishments/dedication to MBHS as well as to the city. The county school board and the city worked together in renovating the stadium, which turned out to be a $3 million project!! We were there on Friday night for the re-dedication ceremony. The stadium is gorgeous and I know Dad would be so proud of it not only for the students, staff, and fans associated with MBHS, but also for the city of Myrtle Beach. It is a most deserving renovation and of course I am beyond proud that my Dad's name is associated with it.
Three of my Dad's sisters and one brother-in-law along with 3 cousins attended the ceremony on Friday night. They made the 3 hour trip just to attend the football game and be there for us. It was so great to see them and Ava Grace has now met all of her Shaw great-aunts and two of her great-uncles (we'll see you son Uncle Paul). Thank you Aunt Doris, Aunt Natalie, Aunt Sara, Uncle Jack, Pam, Teresa, and Jimmy for taking the time to celebrate Dad and all of his accomplishments!!
Uncle Doug, Aunt Stacey, and Luke could not attend the ceremony as Uncle Doug had to coach his own football game on Friday night. It was obviously a good game based on the score (34-33), but the Laurens Raiders ended up victorious that night. Uncle Doug's team played well, but just couldn't pull it out.
