Last Football Weekend

We went to Sycamore to watch our last football games of the season. Logan played in an 8 year old All Star tournament.

It was a 5 team tourney with a round robin format. Our Broncos played 3 games on Saturday and won them all. A lock for the championship game on Sunday afternoon.

Both teams stood on the same side of the field so we took our seats on the 45 yard line on the opposite side in our lawn chairs. That's our Logan, Number 42 in the white shoes, standing up swinging his arms.

Our first lose was to a team from Racine on Sunday morning and the boys took some lumps. Logan's ankle was sore from Saturday, but it was his knee that caused him to sit out the second half of the first game. He begged the coach to let him play in the championship game at 3:30 and he sure did (with Mom and Dad's permission).

We played the team from Racine again. They were a traveling team and it showed. They had not been scored on the whole weekend until the 3rd quarter of that championship game and our star, JP, ran one in for a touchdown. Final 26-6.

The Racine team was bigger and stronger. Several of our Broncos got hurt. One ended up with a broken ankle, and several had bummed knees and necks, but the boys played really hard and never gave up.
