Mighty Mites - Game 3

We were supposed to have an bye weekend this weekend. We didn't have a game scheduled. I tried unsuccessfully for a while. Then out of the blue, another town calls looking for a game. Bingo. Match made.Unfortunately we had to postpone due to a seasonal hurricane/tropical storm rolling in. We were forced to play on a Monday night. And we were playing away. After school games do not seem to be our forte. We got buried. The other team, Rockland, my version of the Yankees, was not more talented. We were just lethargic. Our kids were not up toplaying. We were missing a few kids. Coco was actually sick. He was very upset to miss it. We missed him. And his tackling. The silver lining is that we found a new fullback. We were able to run it up the middle and make good gains. We could sustain drives. And this new fullback made the play of the year so far. On defense.Patriots fan will remember a game in Denver, where Brady through a very rare pick in the end zone. Champ Bailey was set to take it back 100+yards for a TD, when Ben Watson came from the other side of the field to track him down at the far goal line, preventing the score. That's what our boy, Ike did. Truly amazing.In another head scratching moment in youth sports: who calls not one,but two timeouts when you are up 3 TD's, and the sun is down with no field lights? You really need that last TD?
