First Middle School Football Game

Last night the Bobcats took on the Jaguars and although they lost....soundly, it was so much fun to watch. I had seen parts of practices and I wasn't sure how much football the boys were picking up - but they looked great. It was really cool watching them move down the field and make tackles. I will admit, it's a lot harder watching them take the hits though. Never bothers me watching the NFL - hit harder boys! But when it's little people you know - it's a whole different feeling. Michael had a blast - he played offense, defense and is the kicker. He scored the first touchdown, running the ball about 15 yards in to score. He was so proud last night =) He's sore today, he has a bruise in the shape of a part of the helmet on his arm - yeesh.

Getting ready to make the kickoff at the beginning of the game. He's #42, the second guy back.

Celebratory cookie cake - not gourmet, I know - but he thought it was cool!
