OT: Youth football mini-PET
Posted: Wed Oct 14, 2009 11:29 pm
Youth football update (since Nolesy requested one awhile back) . . .
Little (relatively speaking) Terry's team, the Packers, clinched their league title last week. With two games remaining, they're 5-1, with a two-game lead over the second-place team, the Bears. Packers beat the Bears in two of three meetings so far this year.
With the league title wrapped up, there's been some talk about making the last game of the season a sort of Pro Bowl game, but with all the kids playing.
Terry starts at both OG and DG. He's gotten all sorts of raves from opposing coaches, among them: "the best defensive player on his team," and "he was in our backfield on every single play." No referring to the other teams as "the enemy" in this league. Everyone wants to win, but unlike Schmick, some level of sanity is maintained. In fact, the coach of one of the other teams has been sort of recruiting him, through me, to go to high school with his kid so they can play on the same team.
I don't ordinarily root for lopsided games, but I'll make an exception this week. Only because he's wanted to play FB all year long, and his coach said he'd give him a chance to play there if they got a big enough lead.
Without further ado, the pics:
