Flag Football - Week 2

Date: Apr 21st

Today we had 3 games.

I have to laugh (if not I'll cry) that we are literally up earlier

and out the door earlier on SATURDAYS than we are on weekdays!

Hhhmm what's wrong with that picture?! lol

So we were all fed, dressed and to the fields by 7:30am.

First up was Taylee's game at 8am.

Today was the real test as we were playing 2 boy teams!

The first game we were in control the whole game and in the lead!

They finally caught up towards the end and sent it into double OT!!

Unfortunately our inexperience of pass only OT hurt us and we ended up losing.
But all in all the girls played awesome!!
We know we'll absolutely beat that team if we play them again!

Taylee played again at 10am.
This game the girls were really pumped about because a lot of the boys
are in their classes at school.
2 of the boys, the QB and star receiver/running back, were Taylee's "boyfriends" in the past.
So the girls really wanted to beat them.
Well it was another awesome game.
The refs were out to get us with their horrible calls all game.
But we persevered!
And yes we BEAT the boy team!!
Taylee had a couple touchdowns again!
She literally sprinted the entire field with boys diving for her flags.
But nobody could catch her!!
She had a total of NINE sacks between the 2 games! lol she was unstoppable!

The post game handshake and feeling the joy of their first boy win!

Yes that's Taylee literally leaping for joy! haha

These coaches were keeping their cool in the post game chat

but really they were as giddy as the girls! lol

(yes that's Anden's head sneaking in on their victory speech!)

 

Such a fun and truly exciting game!!

 

Then I ran the littles home for lunch, put them in naps, had the sitter come over
and then rushed back to the fields for Anden's game at 1pm!

I had Anden make personal goals before the game
(in the event that his team got beat again that he wouldn't be so bummed!)
He wanted a touchdown and a pick 6.
I told him that was definitely attainable.
Well let's just say he got BOTH of his goals met in the first 3 plays of the game!! lol
WOOHOO!
The entire team played so well and they stomped all over the other team.
It was 40 something to 0!
But they were still gracious and polite winners to the other team.
They remembered how it felt last week to be on the other side of that scoreboard!
It was definitely a super fun game and a great confidence booster for them!

We finally gathered everything up and headed back home
to nurse our scrapes, sore muscles and sunburns!!
What a happy day of sports! :)

And yes eventually I'll have pictures of Anden's games.
I rely on the other coach's wife to take her awesome pics
and post them for us slacker moms to borrow! lol
