Final Football Game...

Monday, October 27th was the last football game of the season. The Giants (that's us) versus another team from Indian Land (where Marshall lives)...both teams scored two touchdowns a piece, but we still ended up losing. That's right the other team scored on both of their conversion attempts - making the score 12-16 in their favor. Our coach gave a real inspirational talk after the game about how we are a young team, and that next year we will have older, bigger more seasoned kids on the team - I didn't realize how many youngsters we had. There were 10 nine year olds, 9 eight year olds, and the rest of the team were 10 year olds...most of the 8 and 9 year olds hadn't played before! So, the fact that we won any games is a miracle - we won two of our preseason games and we also won the Jamboree game (if you look at one of my earlier posts, it says that we lost) - coach explained that the other team at the Jamboree scored the last second winning touchdown with 12 guys on the field, but no one caught it until the play was over and done with...so, we would've won if they had called a penalty on it - no instant replay in pee-wee football?! Banquet is November 8th, and then it's right into wrestling - which thankfully only has practice once a week and one tournament on the weekend (easier to concentrate on homework). Marshall is enjoying himself in all that he does and is still healthy - no broken bones or severe bruises even...
