Whoda thought football could be so cold!
Brian YAFL team, the Chargers, made it to the State tournament in Albuquerque. Brian loves football, but not being the biggest linebacker on the team, doesn't get to play as much. Then, as the football talking heads say, he was plagued by injuries. Sprained AC took almost a month to heal, and just as he was starting practice again, he bruised a thumb. But he couldn't miss a chance to play in the state championships.
The team's first game was Saturday morning. Cold & Rainy. The team we played were big, and had orange uniforms. We called them the El Paso Traffic Cones. We could make lots of excuses, like we'd never played in mud before...........
No use crying over a lost game. We went to the BYU-NM Lobos football game while in ABQ. Everybody who knows anything about football was a little surprised that BYU didn't win bigger, or the UNM was so close. I, being a non-fan, was amazed and amused that the UNM kicker nailed the uprights on 3 consecutive kicks.......
Brian went to a team party at a local pizza game place, along with 10,000 tween football players in for the tourny. Logan got his clock cleaned in Halo 3 & Knights of the New Republic by Austin, his buddy from ABQ.
Sunday's game was a 8AM, way to early. And way too cold. And the other team, from Phoenix of all places, came prepared for cold weather! The Chargers, in their blue jerseys and no gloves, looked like little blue Smurfs by the end of the game. Their poor blue shriveled hands couldn't grip the football.
But it was a great experience. Made some new friends, renewed friendships, and got my fill of football for the year.
