Football!

Will had his first game of the season today.  This is his second year playing, and it is amazing the difference a year can make. Last year he was one of the youngest on the team, and didn’t see that much playing time.  Today, he played both sides of the ball, nearly the whole game.  Even when he was supposed to be on the sidelines while another group was out, the head coach would yell for Brown to come in, because he is such an awesome blocker, and tackler.  On offense he plays center, not really the position you think of when you see Will, but he is the only kid who isn’t scared of the line men and can hold his blocks in order to keep his QB safe.  The best part is seeing him give everything out there and then get to reap the rewards of performing well.

The rest of my crew were doing this.  I was grateful that we had a big thunderstorm roll through and gift us with these puddles, because I didn’t know how else to occupy them for two 40 minute halves.
