We’re playing another game tomorrow morning. The boys came together and played this one like a team and won it with help from everyone, not just a handful of key players making big plays. The final score was 12-7. Awesome game with our defense just as responsible for the win as the offense – a few key stops kept us in the lead at the end.

Speaking of that defense, this past week the coaches made some big changes in who plays where and if today was any indication, it’s an improvement. My little guy now holds the middle linebacker spot – he may be the slowest linebacker in the history of organized football, but the kid is getting it done and is more excited than ever about playing. I think he contributed more today than he ever did on the D-line. For some reason he’s able to bust through in a way that he never seemed to be able to do on the line. Good stuff and he was in on a couple of big tackles and almost single-handedly stopped the one extra point the other team scored…almost.

Looking forward to tomorrow’s Round 1A game. I hate to take anything for granted, but we’re facing the team we spanked 25-0 two weeks ago, so I’m optimistic about our chances of making it to Round 2.
