Game 8 vs. Superstition Falcons







Well here we are, uncharted territory.
All weekend I have thought about what I could say on the blog...
I guess it is best to just go for it!!!
Our first loss of the season comes at the hands of a very good, tough, and extremely big football team. We all know, and Coach Thompson has said many times we are an "older lighter" team, and on Saturday the Falcons were obviously a "younger bigger" team. And even with that, were it not for a couple of very UN-timely turn overs that resulted in two of their touch downs, our boys held their own and did a great job overall. They were unable to convert on any of their extra points and if not for the previously mentioned turnovers we could have won 8-6.
But now is not the time to dwell on it, but time to get busy and prepare for the first round of the playoffs. Many times a defeat can be used as a motivator. I heard Coach Thompson tell my kid
"what good did going UN-defeated do us last year?" We have two weeks to prepare for the next opponent, and now is the time to lace 'um up and play some Monsoon football!!!
Onward to the Championship!!!!
