Title: We had a record sales day on Sunday!
Post by: Ripsnort on October 25, 2006, 08:48:17 AM

$1600 of pictures sold on Sunday!

My son's team finished the year in his division at 2-3, middle of the pack.  The team they played was 5-0 in the conference (8-0 on the season) and Gordon lead all ball carriers on both teams with 50 yards rushing and 1 TD (remember, these are 8 minute quarters, so 50 yards is like 100 yards in a normal football game!)  This team beat us pretty good, 14-7.  My sons performance this year has been extremely good, but as his coach told me "Its too bad I didn't have 10 other Gordons". :)

Couple of pics captured on Sunday of G-Man running the ball and earning those yards the hard way:

If they're alpha males, they love it Cave!  Personally, I was afraid of football at that age...I didn't have the alpha to play it.

My boys aren't afraid of anything... which has been the cause of several near cardiac arrest moments.  They think they're indestructable and aren't afraid of jumping on anyone/anything.

Pants and helmets furball.  Besides, you should be looking in their eyes for the fear.  Good players can smell the fear.

Man what a differenace from when I played at that age! First off I never even heard the word astro turf, ALL the teams helments were white with a very crude stencil spray painted on it by us. Jerseys only had one colour, in my case red w/ with a number only on the back. Everybody had white pants.
These kids look like they play pro compared to what we looked like.

Yea that is unusual both teams would be wearing their home jerseys.

Curious. Just way are both teams wearing home jerseys?

Around here Home and away (usually white with their home color being the numbers) are pretty much mandatory to avoid confusion
