Mighty Mites - Game 7

Game 7 - Our season finale against Hanover, the team that kicked the crud out of us the first game of the season. This was going to be the final test for the season to see if we made progress. Theoretically,could we have had a worse game? But I knew we were a different team now. Kids new their positions. We could run the ball. We could defend. And you know what? We played well. Yes, we lost (finishing1-5-1) but we were competitive and gave Hanover a game. We actually lead when our FB, McCool, took a routine Bang playand went 50 yds for a TD. Coco made a great tackle, tracking down a Hanover RB from behind and across the field on a long run that looked like a sure TD. I was able to get kids a lot of time, which is a great way to end the season. We actually completed a pass too. Some kids had some spectacular plays. Mellow Yellow had a run with a Payton-esque stiff arm. Job had a couple of good runs. McCool was an animal, making plays all over the field. I was really proud of all the kids. They were playing football, and playing it well.
