Final week before the Championship game-Tuesday

Practice Tuesday was brutally cold temp got down to about 38 degrees..Alex was a trooper but I was friggin so cold that I started walking around the football field just to keep warm. It was even too cold for me to attempt to take any pics...nevertheless the team did a lot of hitting and tackling...the championship game is against another Tomahawk team Team #2 we are Team #4.

just to set the stage Team #2 has dominated the Tomahawk league for 3 ....years only losing 1 game in 3 years...They are cocky and their parents are rowdy...but they have reason to be.

This week is an important practice so we must tuff it out. On another note I think Alex wont be able to make the championship game because he may going on a family vacation this weekend.
Family always comes first grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! Its only a once in a lifetime football championship super duper season final game against the over confident Team #2.

Well I will be there even if Alex isn't...however he is being a good teammate by practicing this week even though he is going away..that shows character even for a 9yr boy.

As always I'm way proud of him...and I tell him all the time

Well another cold cold practice coming Weds..tons of fun

Saturday Playoff game against Kings

Well Here we are Our 2nd playoff game...Kings gets the ball first and their very first play of the game their QB #1 Big tall kid runs approx 40 yards for a TD..We were in shock I saw it up close and personal because I volunteered to work on the field with the down markers this way I got to be close to Alex also.

Anyway this QB was a HUGE 4th grader...he also played linebacker on their defense...we had been warned about him by other teams..and he lived up to his credentials...however there was just one issue...He did not like to be hit...and we of course are the hardest hitting 4th graders in the league...so we proceeded to gather our senses after that long run and hit hit and hit...after 4 qtrs of our hitting we ended up scorching them 24 -6 yea baby Still undefeated...how sweet is is

Alex got to play and even got in on a tackle against the QB...another plus ....all the key family members attended the game...Stephanie , Payton, Terri and KK(Home again from college) It was an amazing game , afterwards the team celebrated at BW3s...

Not much more to say..the pics should tell the story...

The championship game is next Saturday...We have had a dream season..the boys have worked extremely hard all year to get to this point. We are all extremely proud of them

One more game...One more week of practice...one more victory...

holla

Friday

Well tonight Alex accomplished a HUGE milestone....while on defense he tackled "ALL BY HIMSELF" one of the first string running backs.....It was a great hit! And then the very next play he broke thru the line and sacked the first string quarterback...I heard the coaches say"Great hit Burton" as I smiled a sheepishly proud grandpa type smile. :)
"Boy it was freezin cold at practice and it was dark" directly after practice Alex was invited to spend the night with his buddy Drake ........so he was excited.
Tomorrow we have our final playoff game against Kings ....the stage is set for a big game. Kings supposedly has a real good quarterback and passing game..."we will see on Saturday"

We only have 3 more games Tomorrow, then the championship, and then an invitational type game that I think will be televised...Cant believe its almost over..

Guess what..."Alex wants me to sign him up to wrestle''guess the Blog will continue...Thanks Alex!
