Today was Jacob's first game with the Iowa Eagles. Full contact. Pads and helmets. I was expecting utter chaos. This is the first year of football for a lot of these kids. But I tell you what, the last three weeks of conditioning and coaching paid off! The Eagles beat the Ronald Reagan Elementary Raptors 24-0. One of the coaches joked before the game "If you shut 'em out, we'll buy you all lunch at McDonald's!" Ya. He bought 22 double cheeseburgers and 22 large fries after the game. I don't think coach will be making that promise again!
Jacob is the third green jersey from the right; look carefully, the second guy is a little ahead of him blocking someone. I tried to upload the video from my digital camera of the kids breaking through their banner, but blogger didn't recognize the format. So, if anyone has any idea how to do that, advice would be appreciated!
Jacob's going to be watching this thread, so, if you could leave some comments for him, I am sure he'd appreciate it!
Woo HOO!!! Go GREEN!!!
