Friday Night Football-The Final Edition

Final Score:

Us-6 Them-21

Our offense was outplayed, make no mistake. But our defense really did a fantastic job. There were some horrible, horrendous calls by the refs, none of which would have won the game for us, but still...and an announcer who couldn't even say what was happening in the game, and LAUGHED every time he announced something bad from our side. Classless. And 4 of our players got so hurt they couldn't keep playing.
BUT, the teenager played PHENOMENAL football. We're working on his highlight reel to send off to some colleges and see what happens. And wrestling starts Monday.

We were all doing okay until the teenager called home crying. He was so sad to have looked up in the stands at the end of the game and see his little brother. When he came in, he hugged me for a long time. And then he and his brother held each other and sobbed. He told his brother to make sure he plays football and sticks with it. He's really regretting not having played his soph and jr. years. And I regret not forcing the issue, but who knew? He had to make that mistake on his own. I'm glad he stuck with it this year. We've had 11 awesome Friday nights cheering for him.
