Football Tears







Mighty Mite ReCap

Mathias's first game was canceled due to excessive heat. Today we were two minutes from the half, up 6-2, when the rain hit. They called rain delay and we found shelter under the shade canopies. Crashing thunder and lightening. When we were able to play again, the other team scored so we were down 6-9. There was concern they'd call the game at the half because there were still storm clouds all around. However, we were able to finish and won 19-9. Mathias played cornerback and got an awesome cross the open field tackle that saved a touchdown. He was pretty proud. :) Then he missed a block on O and got yelled at by coach . . . then he was almost in tears. Dad comforted him "you have to take the good and the bad, and get back out there . . ."







Pee Wee ReCap

After last weeks 0-36 disaster, we weren't expecting much today. However they were playing at team more their level and wound up going into double overtime tied 0-0. Very exciting! Isaiah played great at center and played linebacker for much of the game. Our D held them near goal quite a few times. Also, in O, Isaiah got a sack that resulted in a fumble causing the second overtime! They're not allowed to run it back in O - no turnovers. So great game, exciting, and if we get to play a few more teams like this, that would be nice. Final score our win 7 - 6. And of course Isaiah cried - happy tears. :)
