FOOTBALL 2011

Another football season has come and passed.  I have to admit that I am sad that it is over--I really enjoy watching our boys play.  This year Chase played on the West Minico 7th grade team.  This was a fun year for him.  In the past he hasn't been able to carry the ball due to being above the weight limit set for the Youth Football League.  That all goes out the window with school ball.  Because Chase was the tallest on his team his coach decided to have Chase play Tight End.  Chase was nervous about having to catch the ball, but he did well.  He made several 2-point conversions and was able to gain some first downs for the team over the course of the season.  He also played Defensive End and made a bunch of really good tackles.  He really came into his own this season.  It was fun to see his confindence increase.

Trey was on the fifth grade Mini-Cassia Youth Contact Football League West team.  Part way through the season the coach realized that Trey was fast and decided to play him in the Running Back position.  His first game playing RB he scored 3 touchdowns!  He had an awesome season and really enjoyed the new position he played.  It will be exciting to see what he does next year.

It is nice that the coaches are recognizing their strengths and using that to the teams advantage.
Fun times on the field!
