Hello!
Sam is now playing football on Friday nights! He is so happy and excited! He’s put in a lot of work and is pleased to finally get his chance on the field.
(warning: mom brag post!)
Last Friday, we played one of our rivals, Centennial High School. It’s a big game for our town and almost 10,000 people go to this one! Jack also got to run on the field with his Junior Football team and make a “tunnel'” for the varsity players to run through. Sam looked for Jack and both were pleased to see each other
Sam did not see any play time the first half, but played almost the entire second half.
I think he did amazing and they announced his name when he had a tackle!!
When they announced his name, I cheered, pretty loud! Then apologized to the people around me and explained that this was his first time on the field.
Later that night I got this text from a friend…I guess she heard me cheering!
I wasn’t the only one that was excited!! My mom joined in, too!
I got this text from another friend.
Unfortunately, it was a shut out, 0-20, them. Not a fun ending. When Sam got home, he said, “I am so bummed we lost, but I’m so happy that I got to play! When I ran out there I thought, ‘This is what it feels like!'”
We’ve always told the boys to enjoy what they are doing, have fun even when the outcome isn’t what you hope for and I think that is exactly what Sam did last Friday night.
That first picture of jack makes him look so young. Good pic of Sam tackling that guy
