Athlete of the Week!

Nate and I have always thought that his little brother Casey was a pretty good baseball player, but we're a little partial since we're family. WELL, I guess it must be true! He was named the Athlete of the Week by KMVT (our local news station). Not too bad for an incoming sophomore!! Here's a link to the video (I couldn't figure out how to steal it to put on our page!) ...you'll have to click on the 'Watch the Video' link below the picture...

And here's the little blurb off of their website:

This week's Athlete of the Week goes to Minico pitcher Casey Christiansen. After giving up four runs in the first two innings against Twin Falls on Tuesday, Christiansen beared down and held the Cowboys scoreless in the final five innings. In the sixth, Christiansen was untouchable on the hill. After hitting the first batter of the inning, Christiansen went onto strike out the next three batters in a row. He also helped out the Spartans on offense. The rightie hit a double in the game, and scored a run when he layed down a perfect bunt that scored Cody Winmill from third. The play was part of a seven run inning for Minico. Congratulations to Casey Christiansen, this week's Athlete of the Week.

We just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS CASEY!! All of those hours of catch are starting to pay off!!
