A defensive standoff this past Sunday.

It ended in a 0-0 tie after Overtime.

Our defense has given up 8 points over the past 3 games.

Our offense? Where's it at?

We finished Sunday's game at Jack Lambert Stadium with an easy 26-13 win.
We began putting in our subs in the 2Q as we had a 20-0 lead.
All the boys played equal minutes in this game. A relief to coaches, families, and players.

Our next 2 games to finish the season out will be tough games for us. 5 more practices and 2 games left and our season will be completed.

Here's my son (26) implementing a full back pitch to the right. He makes it around the end, stiff arms this guy in the face, runs 60 yards down the sideline, then gets tackled from behind at the 4 yard line. Hadn't I burnt him out deer hunting all weekend I bet he would of otherwise made it into the end zone. I tease him about running out of gas. For a big boy he runs pretty well.

We moved to a new league after last years fiasco. Finished the season 4-2 and was the 5 seed in the "A" bracket of a 19 team league. The boys fought their way to a tough 30-22 win yesterday to make the championship game next Sunday!

Good deal, how's the wrist doing?

Good deal, how's the wrist doing?

I'm in a removable splint, but am supposed to be wearing it 24/7. Next check up is on Nov 2nd. Hoping to get the thumbs up to start therapy and go to part time splint. I'll post some pics when I get a chance.

Football Mighty Mite season is officially over. We finished the season yesterday with final 2-4-1 record.
I'm proud of all the boys. They played well this year. I really like the fact our 2 kindergarten boys stuck it out all year long. Its tough being that small and naïve.
They will be better off for it. Next year, myself and about a dozen boys graduate to the Junior Varsity level.

I now have time for one week of exterior house work to get ready for winter before our upcoming time change. Then my life turns from dark to dark on both ends of the spectrum while engulfed in work. In ten days its officially bow hunting season for me. Oh yeah, first basketball practice is tonight however I'm not coaching that this year.

Final action photos. Brendan #26 being chased down on a 30 yard scamper by 3 Bombers. And lastly, Coach Ben (me) offering some pregame advice to my son, #26.

The 2016 season is here. We're currently 1-1 in Junior Varsity youth league play.

Year # 4 now and 3rd grade. We're growing up way TOO fast!

 

[Boarhead]

Good luck! Look forward to the updates!

 

[Bigslam51]

Good luck Ben Jr!

 

[MoonLab]
