Pre-season

Football season has officially begun for Lucas. This is our first year of tackle football so there are a lot of things up in the air as far as what to expect. The boys expect to go undefeated like last year but they are struggling with certain tackle items like learning how to get the other guy down to the ground, not holding onto the jersey, jammed fingers, getting out of their stance quickly and so on. I think they are doing great from starting fresh. Saturday was our first test of just how well they were catching on compared to other teams. We are happy to say, we are great. If we can keep on this pace there should be some pretty awesome posts in the weekends to come.

This year we are going to do more playing on high school fields which the boys really like but stinks for taking pictures. Saturday we played at a local high school field and it was weird to be that far away, but of coarse I can deal-I think there are many years of this ahead of me. It does make me feel better with Jeremy down there.



Yes, he is snapping at me. He wanted me to hurry so he could get down with his team.

My attempt at a group picture. Lucas is #50. He is playing on the starting line for offense and comes in on defense. He plays the line on both sides.
I don't yet have a game schedule but as soon as I do I will let you know. It should be an exciting year. They did not keep score but if they did the Ray-Pec Panthers would have won 14-7. Good way to start!!
