Well Monday marked the end of Carson's football season. He did remarkably well for his first year at football. He is tough. He is mean. And he knows how to tackle. These were the characteristics that made sure he was on the offensive and defensive line each and every game. The game is football is definitely one venue where boys still get to be boys. I have to say that is sort-of refreshing.
So anyway, Monday was a great game for Carson. He had some awesome tackles and some incredible blocks. Tackles and blocks that wound up to be game changing. You can't really tell in this picture that he is the one making the tackle, but he is and he is the one who caused the fumble (look closely and you'll see the football about 2 yards behind the guy being tackled). This fumble was run back for a touchdown.
And shortly after this play, our guys intercepted the ball. Carson totally laid out a guy which allowed our player to continue down the field and score a touchdown. These two plays resulted in GMS going ahead and holding on for the win.
Football was fun to watch this year. Now we are into wrestling season (it started Tuesday).

Our football season ended Saturday with a tough semi-final loss (20-13). Caleb enjoyed playing and plans to continue next year. I am trying to find out how the middle school wrestling program is run. The way they have the schools set up down here, nothing is obvious.

BTW, I'd probably fumble too if I had to wear rainbow pants.

Nice work Carson, although he might have to consider a position change at some point in the future. I'm not sure there's much demand for 85 pound linemen beyond junior high.
