It wasn't pretty...

Well it definitely wasn't a thing of beauty but, a win is a win and that is what it was!!!
The team looked sluggish in the first half, and some mistakes were made. But there were also some fine plays. The second half was "Monsoon football." As usual the hard work and determination displayed in the first 3 weeks of practice payed off in the fourth quarter, when, despite the extreme heat, our team had what it took to finish strong and pull out the victory. This week we face our old nemesis the Falcons, and with a shortened practice on Monday night, and many of the team feeling sick this should be a great challenge. Lets keep our men hydrated, well rested, and ready for a full and excellent practice on Wednesday night, and I am sure we will be able to give the Falcons all they can handle and then some, for our second victory of the season.
Remember, all you parents out there with cameras, please send me your pics so I can include some of them here. Thanks again to Fred and Jackie Tafoya for this weeks pics

Two down...

Another week over, and looks like all the fun was had by little brothers and sisters!!! Chase, Tommy, Kylie, and Brynn (l-r) managed to find a massive mud hole and much fun ensued!! The team had a good week of practice, it started out kinda slow, but the boys picked it up to finish the week strong. Many of the boys got banged up this week, which is somewhat normal for the first week of full contact, and with the weekend to recover I'm sure they will all be ready to go again on Monday. There is only a couple weeks to go before the first game, time to get excited!!
As always please feel free to e-mail me your pics, and please leave a comment, Thanks!!!

Week 1 in the history books

Wow Week 1 is finished and now we can get down to the real fun of football... Hitting!!!
The first week is always hard on the boys as well as the coaches, all that running and conditioning, and well just boring stuff. But as we all know, many a game has been won in the fourth quarter when our team was still going strong and the other guys were out of gas!! This first week also gives the coaches a chance to see who has what, and what position each player will be best suited for. We have a lot of players this year and plenty of strong competition for each and every position, with a bunch of new faces thrown in. I think the team looks better than ever!!
Be sure to check back every week, and please leave comments, even if it's just to let me know that you were here!!!
A special thanks to Fred and Jackie Tafoya for the pics this week. My new job as water boy will greatly limit my photo taking, so any of you out there who can, please send me your pics each week so I can put them up!!! Thanks again for looking!!!

GO MONSOON!!!!
