My big football player

This year Nate decided he wanted to try football for the first time. I fought it and complained and didn't want him to play. I was worried he would get hurt or pick up some bad manners... you know those "football people" I relented and said, yes. Way back in July we started practice. Tuesday through Friday from 5pm to 7:30. With games every Saturday.

Our first game we lost 14-13. After that we won every single game in our regular season. Last week we started our playoff season. Sixteen teams started. We won our game. This week we played the undefeated Syracuse team. We were nervous, and by the end of the 1st quarter the other team was up 28 points to 0. We just couldn't hold them today. We were defeated 36 to 0. It was sad for the boys and some even cried. The coaches sure did. But after a few Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and a can of rootbeer they were a bit better. Nate says he wants to play again next year. Guess we will start conditioning next week.
