Game Day: Scramblers vs. Roadrunners Leave a comment
Scram comes from behind but gets spooked and suffers first loss of the season
Saturday the undefeated Eggos faced off against the U-6 Roadrunners at the Hadley fields. The scram quickly fell behind 2 – 0 and had trouble dealing with the speedy Roadrunners. Not used to facing a deficit, the Scramlets soon adjusted and right before half-time Henry’s low strike into the side netting tied it up at 3-3. Carlo added another to make it 4-3 at half-time.
The roadrunners regrouped to pile on three goals in the third quarter to take a big lead. Carlo had another hard shot clank off the crossbar and bounce onto the goal line, just missing his third goal. The roadrunners had just too much offense this day and won it 10 – 6. Everybody had a great game with H perhaps guzzling a little too much Gatorade at the half. Check out more pics and hope all the Scramblers gets some tricks and a lot of treats tonight. A few more game day pics in the Gallery.

Game Day: Scramblers vs. Red Hots Leave a comment
H nets 4 goals as the Scram keeps their irons in the fire with a 12 – 8 victory
The U-6 Scramblers kept their undefeated season going strong against the Red Hots this morning. Despite some early whining about a cactus pricker in his sock, Henry had a strong game today, scoring the first goal. The egg-beaters set an early fast pace with plenty of counterattacks to make the score 2 – 0. The Red Hot eventually fought back to even the score at 7 – 7. With the teams very close at half-time, the strategy of loading the players up with high fructose corn syrup seemed to have worked as H came alive for three more goals to make the final score 12 – 8 for the Eggers.
Had a great time and a lot of fun. We celebrated the victory by buying a giant pumpkin at the farmer’s market and a loaf of sourdough bread. And for all you premium hank.com members, please login to the gallery for more Scramblers FC action shots.

I made like 10 mental notes this week to remember, and i still forgot (“…so that’s the ways it’s gonna be huh? Too late Roy?” ) about The Fountain Theatre’s showing of “Used Cars” as the Saturday Matinee today. I can’t believe i’ve missed my chance to see the Fuchs brothers on the big screen.
Game Day: Scramblers vs. Kaos Leave a comment
Scramblers stay undefeated as they hold off Maxwell Smart’s arch-nemesis.
Actually so many of the Kaos team was sick with the cold or flu, that only one Kaos player showed up for the game. So the Scram coach split half the team up to play with the lone Kaos kid and the game was on. It was a pretty spirited scrimmage between both sides, and Henry netted one goal and helped out on a couple of others.
All in all a very good game and here’s hoping all the Kaos crew gets better for next week. The Scram try and keep their hardboiled momentum going next week when they take on the U-6 Red Hots. Check out more pics in the Gameday Gallery.
Nice story about Pie Town Leave a comment
I love Pie Town. If you didn’t get enough of the place  from our last p-town trip, here’s a nice piece called 36 hours in Pie Town.
Middle Fork to Little Bear Canyon Leave a comment
Took H on his first backpack to the Gila Wilderness. There’s a trail that follows the Middle fork of the Gila River and we took it as far as a place called Little Bear canyon, about 6 1/2 miles in. Cindy provided much needed comic relief by losing the soles of both of her old Vasque sundowners. I guess all the stream crossings were just too much. Henry hung in there, had a great time making up hiking songs and having fun. On both Saturday and Sunday we ran into a guy on horseback running his coon hounds. The second time we saw them, all the dogs surrounded Henry, believing they had tree’d something. The lead dog started balling and howling and generally raising a racket until the other dogs arrived to gave henry a tongue bath. We also saw some pack burros on the trail and quail i think. Some pretty cool lizards, too, perhaps of the uta stansburiana variety.
Had a big dinner in Silver City and H slept pretty good Sunday night. Check out the gallery for some more picks of Hank vs. Wild. And if you can spare it, please contribute cash, check or some old shoestrings for Cindy’s next pair of boots.

Gameday: Scramblers vs. SFC U6 Leave a comment
Scramblers come from behind to clinch a close match.
Saturday’s game featured a tough matchup against the SFC U6 team. After falling behind early, the Scram tied it up 4 -4 after the end of the first period. With the speedier SFC team tiring, Henry’s strike in the second period made it 5 – 4, which stood for the winning goal. The rest of the game was evenly played and El Scram held off a late SFC charge to prevail 7 – 6 at the final whistle. Congrats to the Egg Beaters going 2 – 0 on the year. Next Saturday, Los Scramblers take on the NMR Diamondbacks in a bid to stay undefeated.
