D Med on the field

I can't believe this is his SENIOR year! He is the captain of the football team and having a blast. We have had some ups and downs already in the football season, but we would not have it any other way - Friday night Football!

For those that don't know, DJ, #43, is playing Middle Linebacker (MLB) and Fullback (FB) for the Mustangs. And of course, mom hates seeing him playing FB. I love watching him hit people and jack people up, but I don't like it when he gets hit.

The mustangs are 2-2 right now, losing to O'Connor and Warren. As FB he has 9 carries and is averaging 6.7 yards per carry.

He is missing his Tia Yola, Tio Paul, Josh and of course most of all ......... his Gabster. Sorry Tia Yola. He loves seeing his Tio Frank, Tia Minnie, Les, Tio Mike, Tia Lisa, Tia Patsy, Tio John, cousins Arturo & Heidi and Adanisto at his games. But I think the best surprise was when his Tia Yola, Tio Paul, Josh and Gabby was when they surprised him at the Lee pep rally. I wish I had taken a picture when DJ saw Miss Gabby at the pep rally. He had no idea. And would you believe Jesse kept the secret. Even though the Orozco's were at Jesse's game on Thursday, he did not say a word to his brother that they were in from Arizona.

Well if you have time on a Friday night, come join us at a Jay game and come and sit with the MEDRANO FAN CLUB. Tio Mike cheers his heart out that he even has the administrators from Jay cheering with him. Move them chains baby, move them chains !!

In July DJ participated in the Rice Football Camp and visited the campus. That is his goal - to go to Rice.

I went to open house last week and his teachers love him. All his teachers say that he is the top senior in his class and has the highest grade. They all mentioned that he is an exceptional student. And enjoy having him in their class. They are impressed that he has good grades and also takes the responsibility of being the captain of the football team.

What's new with Jesse?

Well, Jesse is enjoying his sophomore year at Jay. He is playing on the JV Football team. He has an awesome jersey number - #84. I told him that it was the year his mom graduated. I won't say what he said!!! He is such a utility player Coach P can't decide where to put him. One week he is playing DEnd, next week he is playing Tight End and then the last couple of weeks he has been playing Fullback. The JV team is 3-1, their only loss was to O'Connor. Good luck next week against Clark.

Jesse and Maggie are coming up on their one year anniversary. You can tell that she brings so much love and happiness in his life that he just lights us when he talks about her. They enjoy spending time at school and they both help Ms. Deleon with the cheerleaders at the varsity football games. She is such a sweet young lady.

As far as school goes, I went to Open House last week and ALL his teachers just love him to death. They just think he is such a special student. Well behave and has so much respect for his teachers. All his teachers told me that I had a wonderful son. Awesome job Jesse!

Here is the ad that was placed in the John Jay football program. Doesn't he look so handsome?

So far he says the best surprise was the Lee game. He was so surprised when his Tia Yola, Tio Paul, cousins Josh and Miss Gabby showed up at his first football game of the 2009 season. He was so excited that after the game the team was waiting for him to get on the bus so they can leave, but he was busy visiting with his family that came from Arizona!!

If you have a chance, come out and see Jesse play some football !
