Champions

Logan's football team played in a tourney in Cedar Rapids last weekend and Mike and I tagged along.
We are no dummies and have been on these type of weekends before, when Stacy was playing softball, so we opt to stay at the Mainstay Suites NEXT DOOR to the kids hotel. Plus I had points for 2 nights free.
Smart move on our part. The kids took over the place starting on Friday.

We had the 9:30 game on Saturday morning and the weather was chilly and sunny - perfect for some football. There were 12 teams in our age bracket and only 4 move on to Sunday. Boys win 68 - 0 and I feel horrible for the other team. They really didn't have a chance.

Saturday's afternoon game was a little closer 14-36, but we win. Logan played his best game of the year (so far). He was all over the place on defense, running down plays, getting sacks, and he then caught a pass for the go ahead touchdown.
Proud Parents - Grandparents - and Uncle.

I usually don't like to take pictures at an angle,  but  I had to take this picture a little crooked, because the sign above their heads had a dog pooping with a slash through it.

I borrowed Stacy's car paint and painted our car.

We get the word that the boys were seeded #3 for Sundays game - all 4 teams were undefeated, but both teams above them gave up less runs.

Sunday morning we wake up to drizzle and cold. The Broncos only had one game in this weather all year. They don't seem to notice. They had their game faces on.
Taking the sidelines chanting B.A.T - B.A.T - B.A.T.
I had to ask one of the coach's wife - B.A.T = Big, Ass, Trophy!

It drizzled for the first half and then the sun came out and so did our team. Logan's buddy, JP, does most of the offense (that little guy can flat out run), but coach runs the same pass play to Logan and the team goes ahead to stay.

The sun comes out for the championship game and the boys are facing their toughest game all season. The Trojans (local team with lots of fans) have only given up 3 touchdowns all season and none in this tourney.
Broncos don't care - Coach Jerry has this team ready.

JP scores a touchdown in the second quarter. We score first. That poor kid has been kicked around all weekend and has to leave the game with a headache. He came back in the second half. The defense steps up and causes 5 turnovers - oh yeah, (I may sound like a proud grandma here), LOGAN causes 3 of them. The other teams is stunned and we win 16-0 and take home that BAT.
Logan with his medal.
