The big stress of the beginning of the week was that Tacey had open gym for Basketball. This happens before tryouts. Unfortunately tryout won't be for several more weeks because
We are on HARVEST BREAK!
We have the next two weeks off, so when we get back the game is on, so to speak. Keep your fingers crossed and those positive thought coming!
Dallin had a game on Saturday. I thought it was an AWESOME game - mainly because Dallin got to play a lot and play some new positions. Oh, yes, they did win!
Warm Ups. They had them behind the bleachers instead of on the field because the 7th graders were playing their game. A lot of the Shelley teams had games that day. We had at least one team from each grade level. the schedule went 6th, 7th, 5th then 8th.
There seemed to be a lot in injuries this game. They all also seemed to be short-term injuries - and all on the other team. Most of the time the kids laid there for awhile, then eventually ran off. Either way it is a tradition in football for both teams to 'take a knee' while they take care of the injured player. Kinda cool!
This is Dallin getting set to be part of the kickoff team. New position for him! I know he is a little-type guy, but I don't think he will be for long. Do you see how much thicker he is than the rest of his team?
Kick off Team!
This is Dallin playing 3 back. He is running up to number 14 there, then he will grab the ball and push through the line - or at least try to. This usually when he ends up on the bottom of the pile of kids.

Probably his shoe laces. . . (They don't usually try to kick for the extra point at this age. None of them can kick)
Blocking as an offensive player. Look for that number 38! His coach loves the game so much. He is so intense - in a good way.
The Final score: 54-6. It was a nice win.
After game coach pep-talk. He was a happy coach.

As I said, we are on vacation this week: AND we have Tacey's birthday coming up (with Dallin's not too far after). There should be a ton fun in store!
