1st Game in the Books

It wasn't the complete outcome we all had hope for but considering the level of competition and playing on the road, starting an hour late on a Hot day, I believe that our 1st game experience was a complete success. We (as coaches) could not be prouder of how our kids performed. This will be one of the toughest teams that we face all year and went toe to toe with them. Each team had a couple of big plays, they just capitalized on a few mistakes a little better than we did on their mistakes.
There are definately areas that we still need to improve on and many areas that we performed well at.
In general, our line blocked well. Our backs ran hard and we were 2- for-2 passing. Including our first successful Hitch-n-pitch.
Special teams performed well with 2 great runbacks and we did not give up any long ones. Defensively we only had 2 or 3 let downs but this can be improved and actually in the second half it was.
Overall it was a great and exciting game. I believe that everyone had a good time, played hard and we put on a great show for our parents. Even the referees stated that this game was one of the funnest that they have been part of in a long time.
This one is in the books, it's now time to get ready for West Bend East. If we play at this level or a little higher it will not only be a fun season, it will be a great one. Keep it up team.
