Saturday were the state championship games for B's flag football team. Everyone on the team was there to enjoy the day. They played their first game at 9:30am. It rained some but they kept going. It was their first time to play on a wet field. They still pulled out a win 18-7. So then we *got* to sit for 1 1/2 hours while another game was played. Then it was on to game 2.
B is #4. He's blocking the other team there in the middle of the photo.
B played quarterback for a quarter (or most of a quarter) in each game. On the play in the photo above, he did some kind of trick handoff then ran the ball himself. He gained quite a bit of yardage. The very next play he threw the ball for a touchdown. They won this game 27-0.
So since they won that game we *got* to sit for another 2 hours before playing the final game for the championship. Unfortunately, things did not go as well for this game. The guys were tired. (It was 4pm and they had been at the field since 9am in the heat.) The other team had all older, taller boys (not sure where their 6 and 7 year olds were) which made it more difficult for our guys. But even with the obstacles, they still played their hearts out.
We are very proud of Team Gray coming in 2nd for the entire state! They are all winners!!
Team Gray
Part of the fun this spring was being on the same team as his buddy, Ian. They are the Dynamic Duo on the football field! (And their dads were the master minds behind the defensive line.)
