The flag football season came to an end today. I didn’t get to see the championship game, but we had our own championship game–a rematch between us and the only team to hand us a real beating. We played the Cowboys in a scoring fest that saw us score 48 vs their 38 and take the 4th win of this 7 game season. I would have preferred to go 5 -2 or even 6 -1, but that wasn’t the season we had. I am proud of the the four wins and proud of the way these kids toughed out the season. It took me a while to get it right on offense.
The 4-5 year old team, the Jets, did better this season. We went 6-1 with the loss coming to a team that we slugged it out with, but couldn’t put away. 36-30 was that final score. Not the same this week as we went up and down the field scoring at will. Now comes the hard part. We need to figure out the MVP for that age and the two MVP’s for the older kids. As much as I want my kids to be recognized as MVPs I know that some other kids played better–at least on offense. I think my 8 yr old has a shot at MVP for the defense. He has at least a dozen more flag pulls than the next closest kid and with his speed he always had the plays going away from him. The 5 yr old should have easily won MVP, but he was sick for two games and lazy for two others. That gave a couple of others the chance to catch him.
March 5th is the team party for both teams. We’ll find out then.
