Well, we were really hoping to pull out a win in our final game of the year, but it just wasn't meant to be. I don't know what it is about this team, but we just never seemed to have the focus and desire in the first half of the game that we did in the second half. The kids did well in the final two quarters of the year, shutting them out on defense and getting the only touchdown of the half. Unfortunately it was too little too late. Tyler made some nice tackles during the game - one a possible touchdown saving tackle on a kickoff and at least one really nice one while playing cornerback on defense.

    This team played hard all year, no matter what the score was. Unfortunately we had a lot of inexperienced kids and a lot of younger kids on the team, so that put us at a small disadvantage. Ultimately the kids didn't always let their natural ability take over, instead outthinking themselves into making the wrong move. What really matters however is that they had fun and enjoyed themselves. They were all a nice group of kids that you would want to have as friends for your own children.

    Just a remind, Tyler is #53 this season. I am also an assistant coach, so thank Tara for the pictures (she was busy with "Team Mom" responsibilities for most of today's game, so sorry for the lack of pictures)!

    I recently realized that I didn't get any pictures of Tyler and myself together during this long season in our game day attire. We corrected that fact after the game today.
