NOAH Spirit Squads Are Back     NOAH is organizing a co-ed Black & Blue Crew(BBC) to compliment our Cheer Squad, for the 2011-12 year. All homeschool students are invited to help us organize the fans in the stands. The BBC leaders will be members of NOAH's Spirit program and given special access and admission at all home football & basketball games.      NOAH Spirit Director, Kimberly Winn is passionate about building a fan experience that brings out the finest in our homeschool athletes.      The Jaguar Mascot crew is another essential part of the BBC. Creative people are needed to develop skits, demonstrations and other fun antics to add to the varsity game experience.     BBC leaders also have the opportunity to staff a facepainting booth prior to gametime.     All interested students may sign up at http://noahspirit.blogspot.com/. A meeting will be called in  the days to come. Football Hosts Booster Breakfast     The Varsity Football Booster breakfast had a big turnout on Saturday morning. Over 200 players, coaches, and fans got together for hotcakes and sausage at Applebee's (Mingo & 71st).     Fans had a great time visiting with players and coaches, learning about the new squad, the Fall schedule, and other team developments.     The event raised $1700 for the team and helps offset travel costs.  The players were able to offset part of their athletic fees by selling tickets and serving meals. Applebee's donated $5 of each $7 ticket to NOAH football. The next booster event will be announced soon, on the football blog.

Jaguar Baseball 13U Defeats Texas State Champs in World Series Competition

The Jags started pool play last Thursday against Texas 14A State Champion White Settlement, TX Express.  It was a close game 6-4 until the Express broke open the game to win 14-4.  In the second pool play game, the Jags were outdueled 4-2 by the White Settlemen, TX Dodgers. The Jags last pool game was on Friday against Red Oak, Texas, the defending 13U 2010 World Series Champion.

Here's what's happening:

Homeschool Graduations are becoming Big Events Florida Gov. Rick Scott and  a homeschool graduate   The New York Times estimate home educators in the United states to number about 2 million, or 3% of all kids of school age. When NOAH organized in 1998 the number was only about 1/3 what it is, today.   The growing movement is becoming so large that national media is watching the remarkable events that accompany the growing local networks.    Florida just had a homeschool graduation ceremony of 259 in which the sitting Governor was the keynote speaker. Richmond had a graduating ceremony of 206 students.  Large athletic organizations are rivaling the top public and private schools of their state.     Social environment remains the top concern by parents, according to the HSLDA, a leading law center committed to homeschooling freedom.    Read more about this in World Magazine.  Jason Taylor Talks About His Homeschool Battles MVP, Jason Taylor   NFL defensive mvp, Jason Taylor was in town this month to receive the Henry Iba Award. Jason took time out to talk with the Tulsa World sportswriters about his battle with the NCAA.    Jason was a valiant pioneer who faced down the discrimination of the NCAA rules which treated all homeschoolers as high school dropouts.     Jason fought all the way to the supreme court and prevailed! Jimmie Tramel put it this way; " Taylor memorized the New Testament's entire Book of James as a teenager (his family required him to do it). And this is someone who was forced to jump through a hoop to prove to the NCAA that he had a brain? " Read more about Jason Taylor in the Tulsa World.
