football - again


This week has been weird- no football or cheer practice and all games cancelled this weekend. After last weekend's game (another loss) I am kind of glad. Tanner did well, (at least I thought so). My favorite play was when he was on defense and the coach yelled out to Tanner-"now" and as soon as the other team snapped the ball Tanner was on the QB. He hit/pushed him so hard the ball came flying out and Colin was able to pick up the ball and run it almost for a touchdown. Too bad we didn't end up scoring...
The picture above is the 4 team captains for the game. The coaches always pick 4 different players, regardless if they are actually "captains". I think it is appropriate for Tanner tho, he played almost every play of that game -offense & defense. Then he got hurt. He actually came off the field with one of the coaches crying! in front of people! making noise! He doesn't do that. I think it was a combination of exhaustion and hurting himself. Mark had to carry him to the truck after the game was over on his back...he has a bruised achilles tendon... but you would never know it from watching him later that night when we had company over and he & three other boys were running around shooting each other with nerf guns!
