Monday Practice..cancelled thunderstorms

bummer its time to get down to some serious practicing...

We play at Paul Brown stadium( Where the Bengals play) this Saturday at 5PM against Mason

2009 Jamboree game day...it starts

Well in a nutshell we one our first preseason game against Team 21 score 7 -0 however we lost the 2nd game against our arch rival Team 2 score 7-0 We still have some defensive work to improve ...Team 2 is bigger and faster than we are...we will most likely meet the again in the Super Bowl...but for now they still have braggin rights.

As for Alex he got to play running back as he wanted...when he went in he was a wing back and he made a pretty good hit on the defensive back which was impressive in my eyes..Especially after me preaching to him that the first hit is most important....he also got to run the ball and made a whopping 2 yards...

He held on and did not fumble which is all I can ask for out of a new position 10yr old running back.

The pics are of he and sleepover Drake the morning of the game eating instant oatmeal and bananas.....more pics of some players at the meeting place before the game and also pics of the team coming onto the field

All in all is was a pretty good day even tho it was over 90 degrees.....Alex was pumped the rest of the day even tho we lost to Team 2....He had been really nervous about running back and now he starting to understand what Ive been saying for the past 2 yrs...all he has to do is hustle in practice, always going full speed and he will be fine when game time comes.

Practice Monday lots of work to go...one more preseason game next week and then the real season begins

Saturday Team Picture day

Today was the official team picture day...went off without a hitch...although it was very warm today approx 86 degrees ...tomorrow is our first games we have a doubleheader starting against Team 21 at 9:15AM and then defending champs Team 2 at 10:30AM Its supposed to be 90+degrees...WOW.

We will see exactly how we stand this season...I think Alex is excited and nervous ...I actually allowed another player Drake to spend the night ...he and Alex are still awake and its 11:30PM nite before their opening game...boys are hard headed.

Pics are of Alex shinning his helmet for pictures and napping with gabbi ...KK's fat little pug.

Good nite ...Time for the boys to crash! I need to have them up at 7AM
