BIG GAME SATURDAY

Saturday marked the end of the regular season for football. It also meant we were going to have a re-match from last year's Superbowl. We were set to play McDaniel's Panthers at high noon. The boys were so excited, both teams were undefeated and for someone that was going to end. Oh what a game it turned out to be.

Coach Long over seeing the warm ups. Lining up for the coin toss. Here is Matt Harrison running the ball for a first down. Lucas is on the opposite side of the field.

It is so hard to get pictures on such an exciting game. I have none of Lucas blocking during the entire game. Goodness. My throat was even a little sore after the game.

Sadly, it ended in a loss for us. Lucas suffered his first sports injury. He cut his finger in a face mask where the nail bed meets the finger and his nail looked a little white today. I am thinking that is not a good sign but we will see. Play-offs start Saturday and the boys were upset and mad so we have our hopes up for a rematch with a different result. As coach said he would rather lose this round then in the playoffs!! Lucas has spent a lot of time today thinking about the game, he has been quiet and then suddenly will ask a football question or draw out a play to ask coach about this week. It sort of cracks me up when you consider they are a bunch of 2nd graders but then it makes me happy that want to play smart and hard!

Well here is to a better result in the playoffs. It was a good run, a game shy of three years undefeated. Off to start another run of victories!
