Football Farewell

 

 

The boys in blue, our very own Broncos, won their first and last game of the season.  It was wonderful.  I loved seeing these kids who have worked so hard all season long finally get a win.  Not that winning is everything, but it sure helps. 

 

The picture below is from the playoff game against the “Green Giants” – quite literally.  D.J. is #61 on defense and needs to take on those… those ogres in front of him.  He got bowled over so many times, but always got back up.  That’s all I could ask for.  It wasn’t only D.J.’s problem either, the whole team seemed to be instantly dwarfed.  Needless to say the Broncos put up a good fight, an honorable fight, and closed the season with a loss on paper and a win in courage and determination.

I’m so proud of D.J. – of all the boys – I could burst. 

Junior Lightweight Division next year, bring it on!

    I like watching the YM play football, they play tough but not brutal ;)

    They look great and the amount of courage it takes to stand up to someone bigger than yourself is huge!! Way to go DJ!!
