Sunday League game Tomahawks VS Milford

We had to travel about 40 miles for this game...We skipped church...Alex and I drank V8 juice,ate bananas and had OJ on long drive out to the game.
The park where we played was HUGE!
We arrived pretty early Alex and some teammates started getting ready and warming up..Then soon our coaches had the whole team warming up and getting ready to play against this power house team MILFORD EAGLES...
Both teams weighed in and the game started. MILFORD has a great defensive team...and they hit pretrty hard.
By halftime we were losing 7-0. Alex and the 2nd string team would probably not see any action this game......... these MILFORD guys were tough and we couldnt take the chance on letting them score again against our 2nd team...this was an IMPORTANT LEAGUE game.
2nd Half KK and Terri showed up to cheer Alex and teammates on..Alex waved at them in the stands.....
Forgot to mention I left my camera at home so I must talk u guys through this episode...
3rd qtr we finally scored and went ahead 8-7 then it was a real battle...4th qtr came and our defense was really wearing down but hanging in there..I was a tad nervous even though we were leading 8-7 and then MILFORD..throws a pass...But remember my motto "DEFENSE WINS GAMES"...well we intercepted the pass and ran 40 + yds to score. Alex, Coaches & teammates were on the sideline going crazy...I was in the stands going crazy...Terri and KK were sitting below going crazy....MILFORD was silent!
The MIGHTY EAGLES had just been dealt a taste of TOMAHAWK tenacity..hello!

We WON 16 -7

We rejoiced and celebrated all the way to the local neighborhood wings joint.

Alex , teammates, parents and coaches were all there.

It was a great great great great win....

Next practice Tuesday...and dont worry I will have my camera.

holla

Sat 8AM practice

Alex was fast asleep when I arrived to get him for practice I had to ring his doorbell 6 times He answers the door wrapped in a big blanket and eyes barely open We were late by 15 minutes to practice....primarily because after we left we stopped at Starbucks for hot chocolate, bleberry muffin and a double espresso. Great pre practice morning meal.
Even tho we were a tad late Alex still got to stretch and get right into the drills.
Alex mentioned that he hates morning practices..I pointed out that they are the best because they get done early and the remainder of the day is FREE!
He still hates them.

The team looked good at practice .....they better we travel 40 minutes away to play MILFORD on Sunday ...another BIG league game A MUST WIN.......
