JV Mites - Week Two

The young Dragons got their first win of the season, bouncing back from last weeks tough loss. We went on defense first, and after giving up one quick first down, buckled down to force a turnover on downs (nobody punts at this level). Thunder took the first hand-off 40 yards for a TD. After forcing a 4 and out, Lightning (Caz) took the next hand-off another 40 yards for a TD. Our third series saw our back up tailback going 40 yards on our first play for a TD. We had to scramble quickly to call of the dogs. Everybody got play a whole bunch of new positions. At the same time, the kids were learning a good lesson - how to be good sports. They knew why we weren't scoring any more. Even on D, we had everybody playing everywhere. Our makeshift D, held their ground at the end, making a goal line stand to preserve the shutout. It was a really fun day, and the kids had earned it.
