Mighty Mites - Game 2

Game 2 was much better that the catastrophe of game 1. The Mighty Mites played a much better game. And we were more evenly matched. We played Hanson at Whitman Hanson Regional High School. They have a brand new turf field. The place was amazing. The kids thought they were at Gillette Stadium. The offense was able to get plays run and we scored our first touchdown of the season. The defense made some really good tackles. Both teams had some really long drives. The game ended in a 6-6 tie. I will take it.
Of course the parents were confused because Hanson ripped off a long TD run at the end. The problem was there were about 7 holding penalties and 4 clips. We don't call many penalties at this age. But these were so blatant, the other coach insisted on not counting it. It was a step in the right direction for the team. Progress was made.
