Proper Perspective
Out of approx 200 football teams from across the USA
Our Tomahawk's Team 4 placed 2nd in the entire 5th grade/10 U division!
That's right! 1ST RUNNERS UP.........SECOND PLACE.......NUMERAL DOCE......
Don't get it twisted
WE were the talk of the tourny by the refs, coaches and fans..We've heard it all year
"they are so little, but they sure are fast and can hit hard"
better recognize.....TEAM 4

Rocky Mountain Tourney game 3 &4
Since we were Victorious in game 1 & 2 we continued on in the Tourny. We played Sunday morning and won again against a Lexington Team 18-0 ..it was a rainy muddy mess.Our quest continues.
After the muddy victory we had to strip our clothes in our vehicles and give them to a few volunteer moms who took them to a local Laundry to wash and dry .we only had 3 hrs to our final championship game. while the moms were cleaning them. Alex, Terri, kK and I went to a Local restaurant and ate and warmed up. remember we only had a few hrs until we played so after eating I found another local laundry and dried mine own personal hoody. Alex hung with me...Terri and KK went looking for a local Walmart, why I dont know ...bored I guess.
When they returned we all got back to the field and suited up for the final chapter of our quest.
We were pitted against a local Tenn Team called MIDWAY...They were BIG, FAST , ORGANIZED and WELL COACHED. Opening kickoff they scored and we never recovered. final score Midway 18 - Tomahawks 0
Our boys were upset and hurt but we really met our match..they were an identical team to us only alot BIGGER...A LOT BIGGER
Our coaches gave a nice heart felt pep talk we all received runner up badges and the team got a huge runner up trophy...
Alex was really sad at first but by the time we were 1/2 way home he was talking and back to his usual non stop self.
A hidden treat in all of this is Alex spoke with his dad Jason( in California) while we were eating and that was good.
We arrived home near midnight and what do I do
"Start typing on this darn addictive blog!
Pics to follow I promise...
But for now Football is over and Lacrosse and basketball takes center court
Oh yea we sign up next week for 6th grade football one more year as a Tomahawk
holla

Knoxville Tournament Game 1 against NW Bantons
Our first game against a team from Indy...Northwest Bantons...they were bigger than us...as everyone is usually...From the first kick off I knew THEY not WE were in trouble. They were slow and not organized...we killed them 20 - 0.
Alex had a nice hit assisted by Adam Hedges( another player)on their QB.. They hit him so hard that he had to leave the game fora few plays.
Alex also almost scored a TD he was stopped on the 3 yd line plus their was a penalty on the play.
As an after game treat Alex chose to eat at a Chinese buffet...It was OK.... we then returned to the hotel to rest and prepare for game two at 7PM
fun....fun...fun.....in Knoxville
Side note( I can tell Terri and KK aren't used to being around all of these boys all the time)
The boys are running through the halls and pushing elevator buttons constantly...
Alex also got to talk with Jason and brag about this 1st victory
Game 2 7PM stay tuned

Sat Nov 14 2009 Hamilton Invitational Game 1
We slammed them 24 -0. It was New Miami.Alex played with the 1st string offense and almost scored a TD. He had a running play and was tackled a few yards from the goal line.
That's all the highlights except for Payton was there watching and seemed proud to have a Big Brother playing ....Tomahawks
Hes expecting grandpa to sign him up in a few years and take him to practices.... he's Payton, he's 5yrs old...he's dreaming or on some kind of delusional drug if he thinks I'm doing this same scenario again with him for 4 yrs.
Well maybe I will do it for 3 but definitely not 4
end of story!

Tomahawk Night at UC Bearcat game
Tonight was fun. Alex and I along with his teammates and parents all attended a UC Bearcat football game tonight. All of the Tomahawk players were allowed to be on the field and form a tunnel to allow the undefeated UC Bearcats to run through.
I thought we were gonna miss the on the field tunnel because traffic and parking was a nightmare in Clifton. We had to park several blocks away and jog to the game...we arrived just in time. I was tired Alex was barely puffing at all. It was a great game , we stood the entire game, Alex had popcorn, nachos, hot dogs and cotton candy..We left with 5 minutes to go in the game in order to beat the crowd....plus I could tell he was wearing down.
Oh by the way Alex is great with directions he found our way back to the car in no time. By the time we were on the road 5 minutes Alex was fast asleep. Good thing we have a tournament game in Hamilton tomorrow at 12 noon...Ill be picking him up at 10AM
Oh yea UC is still undefeated
