WE are the CHAMPIONS!!

I mentioned in an earlier post that Tucker played football for the first time this year. He had mentioned it in the past and Weston and I were not convinced that he was completely ready. This year, however, we thought he was ready to give it a try. It was now or never. I have never experienced this type of team experience and was a little worried as many of his teammates had played for several years. After his first practice he was in love. He loved this game and was so excited about playing.  I was so glad that we allowed him to play and experience this game and what an experience it was. Below are some pictures from the toybowl. They played and almost undefeated season loosing only one game to teh titans. They were a big team that we beat once and then they beat us. IT WAS INTENSE. I even had words with one of the titans dads which was not one of my finer moments but he did diserve what was said. I was super excited to learn that we had been given the #1 place in the season play and then seaded (sp) first in the tournament. we won all games leading up to the toybowl and game day came. It was a day full of events and super full of nerves. I am anxious to see if Tucker plays in highschool how I will feel in a big game :). The coaches took the kids to eat and then to watch a special video and do a pregame walk through. then we had a sherrif to escort the team down Scottsville rd to the game at Greenwood high school. We made a tunnel and the boys got to walk through a "bronco walk". The boys took the field and the game began. We were able to keep up with them and scored fairly quickly int he game. they soon scored and we were able to somewhat keep the score even until close to the end of the second quarter. They took the lead by 2 touchdowns. After half time they kept the lead. It was beginning to look like the titans were gonna win. With 3 minutes left in the game, we scored 3 touchdowns with one being in the final 30 seconds of the game. It was fabulous!! I don't think I have ever had so much fun watching football. It was THE best game I have ever watched. I put  alink below in the final minutes of the game. Since they won the game, we got to be honored at school in the Good morning Potter Gray and also got to be in the Christmas parade. It has been a great experience and I hope that Tucker has enjoyed it as much as we have.
