Are You Ready for Some Football!

Vegas, baby!

That's where Tyler's team is going.  His team remains undefeated for the season.  Not only has his team never lost, but no team has been able to score on his team.  I am soooo proud of them!  It is very fun to watch those big boys play.  Not only are they good, but they have great sportsmanship.  They are always helping kids from the other team back up after they get leveled.  (An irony, don't you think?)

This last game was an exception.  A coach from the other team started a brawl.  He was encouraging one of his players to "get" one of ours.  Tyler's position is close to the opponent's side so he heard the coach yell this and he also heard some Gilbert blondie (yes, for those who know our area, Gilbert) mom yelling to Tyler she would meet him and numbers so and so - I don't know details-  in the parking lot.  And here I thought Coolidge was supposed to be the white trash....  Anyway, it got ugly.

A kid from the other team hit one of ours, and the fight began.  Derek went out there are started throwing football players off each other and off the field.  (Personally, I think he enjoyed that...) But not before Tyler was able to throw out a few punches.  He came home with swollen knuckles and a big grin.  It's not too often (never) he would be able to get away with decking someone without any consequence, but this happened to be the exception. Who knew that he would enjoy brawling?  Methinks the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...

Anyway, it's been an interesting season so I'm looking forward to the rest of it - and the END of it!  (Did I say that?)  :)
