We won the coin toss and received the ball to start the game. We marched down the field and ended up with a 4th and goal at the five yard line. We went for it and got a touchdown. The play was challenged though and after further review the call on the field was overturned. The players knee was down with the ball inches from the goal line.
We gave the ball up at the half yard line.
It was a long grind with a lot of fourth downs but the opposing team did score a touchdown and missed the extra point.
Then we marched the ball back down the field and scored a touchdown and extra point to take the lead 7-6

Last year we couldn’t stop the passing game but this time around we did. We stopped them again and got the ball at our 45. Then we marched it downfield and scored another touchdown and extra point. Most of the high school teams in our division don’t have a kicking game. We actually have a very good kicker. He kicked a 54 yard field goal in the semi finals. Extra points are pretty routine for him.
We took the lead 14-6

We stopped them again and got the ball at our 45 yard line again. Their defense was really getting tired and we marched down the field again. Scored another touchdown and extra point.
We took a lot of time off the clock and the opposing team was going to the passing game. We we shut them down and took over the ball on downs with very good field position. We got a first down. I was almost hoping they would force us to try a field goal just for our kicker, but the first down let us run the clock down. Last year was a good but sad ride home. My grandson was pretty blue. This year was certainly a better ride for him. Both experience's were good for him. And I’m betting they all learned more from last year’s loss than this year’s win. Hopefully they will tackle life’s challenges with the same determination.
Was a pretty good day to be a grandpa. It usually is. I very much love my family especially the little ones.

Exciting game BJ! My grandsons team made it to the middle school superbowl. He got the first TD with a 65 yd return! I call him Forest! They ended up losing bad. I'd swear some of those other kids were regular high schoolers! They were as big as me! WE ended up losing 43 to 12 with one of ours going out in an ambulance.
