First football scrimmage

I may have whined a little about having to be in Merkel at 8:00 am this morning, but I am so glad that we started so early.  It was really nice until about 11:00 and then it got HOT!  Of course, I guess we should get used to it, since every game from now on starts at noon.  Here are the boys warming up and stretching.  It was a round-robin scrimmage and we had to wait for a team to finish up before we played. 









Here is Luke watching Anson and Clyde playing.  Clyde and Merkel had so many players that they were able to have an offense and a defense.  We only have 3 subs.  Our team has to play offense and defense.  But they love it that way. 



We scrimmaged Anson first.  They were pretty tough.  Luke scored our first touchdown!  Look at that block by Tate on the last defender. 














Into the endzone, Luke goes!  Most kids, unless they played last year, only have workout jerseys on.  It was really hard to find your kid on the field.  But I did get pictures of this touchdown. 


The QB and running backs gettin' some coachin' from Casey.  We know Casey from drag racing and he is doing a great job coaching the backs.









Luke is showing me his war wound, a busted lip.  He is so proud. 

Tate and Luke, best buds.  Tate scored 4 or 5 touchdowns.  It is fun that they both get to play in the back.
