Flag Football Grand Finale

The football season always flies by and before we knew it, it was the final game.  This final game is also known as the Championship or Super Bowl game to Oliver.

Speaking of Oliver,  I love when I catch natural smiles on our boys.  They can throw down a photo perfect smile with the glimpse of a camera, but it's never the same as catching them showing their pearly whites while having fun.  Toss in fresh and spunky new hair cuts and it's enough to melt their Mamas heart into an ooey gooey mess.
First up for us were the Polar Bear.
Kellan's flags were strapped on and he was ready to go.

The teams lined up to meet with the ref and hear any final instructions.
Kellan was looking quite handsome in his slick new do.
At half time, the team got to run through the i9 banner.


Kellan LOVED running through the banner.  He said that is was his favorite part of playing football.
Running through the banner may have been his favorite part, but we still had a game to finish.
Kellan took another shot at running the ball.
He had a pretty good run that ended in a dog pile over the defense.
At the end, each player received a trophy.
Way to Go, Polar Bears!!
What a great season!!
Receiving this trophy may have been Kellan's second favorite part of football.  Second to running through the banner.  He's ready for next season if it comes with a trophy.

Kellan with Coach Keith AKA Daddy.
A loving and proud hug from Dady the coach.  Keith LOVED coaching Kellan and the rest of the team.  I think that he may have even surprised himself at how much he loved it.  Here at the Ham Fam we are very proud of both of our Polar Bears, Kellan and Daddy.
After our Polar Bear celebration, we headed over to watch the Dragons in the Championship game.
They were alert and on fire.
Check out Oliver's bob and weave moves around these kids.

Oliver had some great flag pulls, including this one.

He also pulled out another awesome touchdown this week that was just in the nick of time.


There he goes, past the goal (cone).
Uh oh... someones got his flag.
But not soon enough.  Oliver made it across the goal line just before they pulled his flag.
Way to go, Oliver!
At the end of the season, each Dragon gets a medal for their specific accomplishments.  They also got their 5th Championship trophy for their 5th undefeated season.
Go Dragons!
We sure love these boys and this team!  We really fell upon a lucky star when we connected with them.  
Way to Go, Oliver!
We are so proud of the great season that you had.  Once again, you really pushed yourself to grow.
Regardless of the trophy that they brought home, we are so very proud of both of our flag football players.

For Kellan, this was such a big stretch for him to take on flag football.  He showed up each and every week and gave it a shot.

For Oliver, he continued to amaze us with his persistence, focus and determination.

We love you boys and couldn't be more proud!
