Playoffs game 2 vs Bombers





HOLY COW!!!
What a great game!! Our boys really played with heart, determination, and the desire of champions this past Saturday to win over a very tough opponent in the Bombers.
Kind of a weird game, with a nice interception for a TD called back for what looked like a questionable penalty call. Then their only score coming on a fluke play. Then what was one of the nicest drives our offense has put together all season we matched the score, only to miss the point after attempt to send the game into overtime. Then our defense held them on an awesome goal line stand in overtime with some spectacular hits. And in fine Monsoon fashion we jammed the ball across the goal line to win 12-6. It was truly great to see how our boys reacted to adversity these past two games. Like I said before, we didn't have much to go on as far as how they would play after a loss, or like this Saturday, after being behind late in the game. Now all our questions have been answered, this group of young men have what it takes to be champions on and off the field. Time for some great practice this week before we go into the Falcon's nest to claim it as "OUR HOUSE".

  2. Nice job Mr. Manning. What a team we have. I don't just mean the one in helmets on the field. I guess I would call it a family. I know the boys appreciate the support from our family. From painting cars, cow bells,cheering,snacks,pictures to tail gate parties and after game lunches. I am pretty sure we put more parents at practice then some teams do at games! It's nice to be a part of for the third year in a row. Keep up the great work. Hey, do a little extra yelling at #1 Wyman for me on Sat. Karen and I will be back at Notre Dame compliments of the fire department brotherhood. Go Irish! Roll Monsooooon!
