Well, our season is officially over. We went 5-1 overall. This was a great year for our team and we had a drastic turn around, at least from what the kids/coach told me about previous years. This is our 3rd year(my first with the team). They won 0 then 2 games the first two years.
The kids were really excited to win some games and learn the fundamentals and to have that great feeling leaving the field from their last game (44-8) feeling like champions.
We had some hard working kids that went and played their hearts out. Great parents that supported us very well and some coaches that cared. I am thankful for this year, my first as a DC I learned a whole lot along the way and we had a ball.
Just some numbers: we outscored our opponnets 182-42. Pitched 2 shutouts and had 3 games where only 1 TD was scored against us. In our loss we had 22 scored against us.
In the loss, (A) big penalites on execution of the offense kept us moving backward and when we did make some big runs , 3 times they ended with a (B) fumble. On Defense we (C) missed on some open field tackles and that is the recipe for disastor. Those 3 things are killers. We straightened em out and beat that team the second go round. I am very proud of our boys and their turn around, looking forward to next year seeing these 6th and 7th graders turn into 7th and 8th graders.
God bless yall and good luck with the rest of your season.
