Rushed out of work yesterday to head straight home to pick up the fam and head to the final scrimmage of the season for Oldest. This is great news; now we can get the regular season rolling. Somehow we missed the kickoff again. I am so determined to see the FULL game for each game we attend this season. I mean, who wouldn't want to get that pumped up feeling along with the boys as they run out on the field?
The boys played tremendously. They versed Annandale High and although I'm not sure what they are doing over there, they are producing some big boys. Despite being bigger, they were clearly not better. Without a scoreboard to confirm, I can say that the score was at least 14 to 7. And Oldest got his fair share of playing time and performance. Then they put the 2nd string in. TOUCHDOWN for Annandale. "There goes the 2nd string," I tell the Hub. Good thing it was a scrimmage because that may well have been their first and last chance to play.
It was a good game. The other kids were bored to death and enjoyed the rocks and pebbles at their feet for two hours. My favorite part of the evening: the Defensive Line coach is talking with Oldest, just as he is about to board the bus. Right about the same time we are walking down the sidewalk. He asks Oldest how he felt he played and they conversed for a few minutes as we approached. Oldest tells his coach he had 2 men on him at all times and they were holding. The coach tells the Hub that Oldest has been playing very, very well and that he is the most improved player on the team. Major beams coming out of my face. So sweet to see how hard Oldest has worked and to see all his hard effort is paying off. The coach likes him, he's playing well, he's showing maddening improvement. It shall be a good season folks. I'm very proud!
