Titans Win 3rd Place

by

And the crowd goes wild!!! Really. I have to admit, for at least half the boys on the field, it was a great way to go out. The other team lost 2 games in a row to take 4th place…and there was tears and yelling from the coach…but everyone got a medal.

So, I’m torn about my previous post. I was not looking forward to the game at all. My hot chocolate sucked. Jack was asleep for the first half, as was most of his team. They were behind 13-6 at the half. Then they woke up. Jack had a great 2nd half. The team came from behind to beat the team who stomped us in the championship last year. 19-13. The other coach is an a-hole, so it was nice to put him down a few notches. He went out on the field to check on one of his injured players and yelled at his kids “you are why he just got killed!” as he passed by them. Nice. It was more of a positive for our kids and coaches than a negative.

But, now the season is finally over. My wallet can stop hemorrhaging money every Saturday. (This game was 7 bucks a head to “pay for trophies and medals”) He seemed to have a good season, and less crying at the end of the game. He’s already looking forward to next year…and playing the heck out of some “Madden 08″ on the Wii. He shall be ready…so sayeth the Madden.
