Second Game Today

No pics today. I forgot my camera. I had the wagon loaded with chairs, drinks, snacks, toys, and umbrellas, and the camera just sort of got left by the wayside.

Anyway, today the Iowa Eagles played the Sunnyside Dark Knights. They were BIG. Jacob played guard and right tackle again, playing on the kick off team as well. He is not exceptionally fast, but he is tenacious, and got by his man (who was three times his size!) often.

Final score 14 to 0, Eagles!!

I am so proud! He got lots of kudos from his coaches during the game, and his team mates love him. This has so far been such a great experience for Jacob. He has grown leaps and bounds in confidence and knowledge of the game, self discipline and team work. For us Moms it is hard to watch our little guys work so hard, and get so beat up on the field. But as we see our little guys turn into fine young men, we know that it all pays off.

Way to go Eagles!
