The gorgeous weather shined on and so did the Polar Bears and the Dragons.
Once again, the boys played at different times, which was so much better on us parents. Plus, it gave Oliver a chance to check on the plays that the Polar Bears were plotting.
After he ran the plays by Owen, they gave them their seal of approval.
After a quick practice, the Polar Bears were fired up and ready to play.
Kellan took a great hand off from Emerson.
He had a handle on the ball and he RAN!
Go Kellan Go!
Brad stepped in again as the assistant coach since Coach Patrick had to be out of town. It's tough work being working Dad's and coaching your kids. Whew!
Kellan is getting the hang of defense and he's often in the pack following the ball. At least he has his hand movements down.
Kellan was up again and he received from quick tips from Coach Keith.
"Where are you going with the ball." asks Coach Keith.
Once Kellan was ready, he asked for Evan to hike it.
Whew, look at that speed and hip movement!
It wasn't quite enough, but Kellan was showing improvement and we were so proud.
Quick Quick.. we moved our gear to the other field to watch the Dragons play.
Oliver was on Defense where he and Owen once again had their focused stare.
Oliver also had some great plays on offense.
Coach Ben is always engaged with the team, talking them through the next plays.
This... This had to be Oliver's defensive play of the game. It was awesome!
The Dragons aren't mesmerized by pink tennis shoes or pig tails. They see an offensive player with the ball. Oliver saw the ball move and he swooped in...
He was lightning quick (and on the other side of Preston)
He came out with the flags on the ground while the offense stalled flag free.
It was quick and speedy.
Even the coach looked a bit surprised as he said "we see no gender on the field."
We give tons of kudos to the girls who get out there are play with the boys. At the same time, we give our boys kudos for playing with focus and determination, regardless of their opponents.
When it was all said and done, our teams took home some victories and some players had a little bling to add to their collection. Evan and Kellan won the sportsmanship medals for the week.
Way to go, Boys!
Evan and Kellan were SO proud!
Can't you tell?
Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you too!
Way to stick with it, Kellan and give it your A+ effort week after week. We love to watch you play and grow with your team.
