football summary

A few weeks ago, One's flag football team was invited to play at halftime during the Madison Mustang's football game (semi-pro team). One was very excited and even more nervous. We experienced several swings of emotion prior to the game, and I even wondered if we would be able to make it. But we did. I will take full credit for using my mama magic to pull the family together.

Here are the Packers, One's team, walking onto the field:

There's my boy! I think he's looking for us, but we had moved to get closer to the action:

The stadium was, well, not exactly packed...

Their coach (in yellow) has done a great job with this team. I haven't always agreed with his tactics, but I appreciate his passion and dedication to the kids.

And there he is, as center, ready to snap the ball. I'm sure he's hoping this is his last time as center. Let's just say that he'd rather have a little more glamorous position on his (gasp) tackle football team next fall.

Because you asked, yes, the Packers won this little scrimmage. They were undefeated again this season. I saw in one of One's journals from school that his team is rated A-. Not sure where he came up with that, but I think I'd agree.

It was a great way to conclude his flag football career. Onto tackle!
