There has been a lot of football around here! Between both 7 & 8 grade games and high school games to watch the band for Kyler. The girls have been pretty good about it so far, as long as there are friends at the game to play with, but I think they are waning. Kyler has grown physically, obviously, but he has also grown in confidence from last year, and it shows!! He's like a completely different player. He is still playing tide end and cornerback. He really seems to be enjoying the game a lot more too.
Damon is having a rough start to football. I think adjusting to pads was a little more difficult than he expected and he's really young for his grade. He has had such an amazing outlook and demeanor as he has struggled to find his role. The first game of 7th grade football he played 6 different positions. He knows the game so well, he can fill in basically anywhere and knows what's going on. It's incredible to watch. Offensively, they have rarely used him which has been frustrating for all of us, probably me the most. I just know how much he loves it, and I don't want that to change!
Damon's first football game ever!!
#5 is my favorite!!
Matchy-matchy
On the left you can see Damon's interception
#15 running the ball!
On the line
Kyler running the ball
Kyler's Highlights
He came in from the far side and went straight to the ball.
Kyler grabbed him allowing the rest of the team to tackle him.
This seemed to be how most of the run plays Kyler had seemed to go, no blockers!!
Kyler chased him down before he broke away.
It's not often that Kyler shows emotion, but this was a close game and this drive stopped the other team at the end of the game. I love seeing him get excited because it doesn't happen often!
Kyler got to the ball and slowed him down.
He almost got away! And he fumbled after he was already down so he was able to keep the yards gained!
Damon's Highlights
This was Damon on the far side trying to cover all the receivers. His man got away but the other player wasn't covered with so Damon didn't know who to guard and where to cover. Poor guy was trying to be everywhere, and then he usually ended up getting yelled at.
Easy 2 point conversion run!
On the far side of the field you can see him running toward the ball to finish the play.
You can see him get pushed on the far side of the line. That happened a lot because he was just so much smaller than everyone else.
Watch #5 come in for the tackle!
Damon playing great defense on the receiver.
Perfect defense resulting in an interception!!!
Touchdown!!!! (We'll just ignore that flag that was thrown)
