Mighty Mites - Game 5

Game 5 -We played our first Sunday game of the season. A 4 PM, West Coast start time. Good thing since Caz was playing at 11:30 at the far end of the universe in Hull. The boys just don't seem to like afternoon games. The other coaches said what I was thinking, Coco was the only one that showed up to play. The kids were dazed and lethargic. On top of that, these Taunton kids were big and fast. We have a few big kids. But not both big and fast. We had kids in positions to make tackles but just bounced off these kids. We were just flat out physically out-matched. We were down 18-0 at half-time. Our running backs got hit so hard that they didn't want to run anymore. I could actually hear discouragement and frustration at half-time. To our credit, the boys played it out. I guess it is not surprising, with the way the season is going, that Taunton kept it's first string out there the entire game. So much for sportsmanship.
