Y Awards!


Every year BYU has the "Y" awards to honor student athletes. They have 13 awards, the athletes are nominated by their coaches and the administration narrows it down to 3 finalists for each category. This year Cassidy was a finalist for the "Ed Stein Outstanding Senior Male Athlete Award." "It is the oldest recognition bestowed upon a BYU male athlete; given to the senior who has most clearly desmonstrated high atletics and academic performance and sportmanship." Here is Ashleigh, Cassidy & his dad Mark before the program.


And the winner is...... Cassidy! Way to go Cassidy, we are so proud of you!



All of Cassidy's teammates came out to support him at the awards. Evan doesn't like to dress up, so we took this picture to remember the occasion!


Of the 550 athletes at BYU here are the winners of the awards!

Boston!

The guys went to Boston to play Harvard, DePaul & Mississippi State. Harvard always has a good team. The week before we played, Mississippi State was up 3-0 against Ole Miss (ranked #10 in the country), and had match points before eventually losing 4-3. We knew it would be a tough weekend with 3 matches in 2 days, but are proud to say the guys were tough and pulled through beating everyone.
We also made time for sight seeing, this is everyone at Boston Common.

In front of the Massachusetts State House!


With Paul Revere.


A close up, because I thought they all looked so cute bundled up, it was only about 10 degrees when they were sight seeing.



Here they are in front of The Old North Church (for more info, watch National Treasure)!



Michael & Brad visiting the Paul Revere Bookstore!



Roman with a statue of John Harvard! Made me wonder how he felt about being taken down by Brigham Young! Go Cougars!!!!
