JV Football: West Valley vs North Pole

The first snap to Nick went way over his head.
He went back, picked it up and ran it a little.
A kick off...


Back to the side lines...

Cody #40

brothers...
Nick's first chance to kick a PAT. The snap was bad (again) and the ball was coming at the holder sideways. Nick never even had a chance to kick it. The holder had to lay on it...notice the two really big guys coming through the line.
Another kick off...
Cody got to play a lot of defense this game.
Not the most flattering photo for Cody, but I wanted to show how proud of him I was. He's 5'8" and 151 lbs. See that guy hitting him? He's 5'7" and 210 lbs. Another guy that Cody had to match up against was 6'0" and 260 lbs. Really! He did the best he could being at such a size disadvantage. I'm proud that he never gave up.

Chasing the ball.

Helping with the tackle.

Final Score.
There were three bad snaps (one resulted in two pts., one kept us from the extra point, and one put us deep in our own zone). There were also two offsides that resulted in a first down for NP (one which ended in a touchdown). I think our guys were in better shape and even with the obvious size disadvantage I believe we were the better team. Five big mistakes were directly related to the final score. Bummer! Next weekend we go to Palmer.

Great sports journalism. I'm sure the team will come together.

Our football doesn't start for another 3 weeks but my son can't wait.
