4.113. Reflections on a Youth Football Season

We need to figure out our offense.

This is the second consecutive game without our starting RB (who we lost to some political nonsense) and the second consecutive game without an offensive score. It looks pretty bad for us, and we really need to get that situation fixed, because what is happening out there is not good. It puts more pressure on our D to shut people out and we can’t shut out everyone. Today the refs blew an endzone call and gave a touchdown to a kid who caught the ball on a bounce. That was the difference in the game. 6-0 and suddenly we go from the #1 seed to at best #3 and likely #4 or #5. A large part of the problem is that we haven’t played as many games as the other teams in the league and that impacts our percentage negatively.

This is our 12 Unweighted team. Our 12 Weighted finished out the season with a perfect record. We gave up points in the last two games and have not been playing nearly as well as we are accustomed to, but we are still in first place. We can carry that all the way to the championship, and that will make everyone happy.

10 Unweighted has been solid throughout. We handled that business I discussed last post. 18-0 and only allowed 2 first downs. We only had 4 offensive drives, and just made mistakes on the 3rd drive that led to us messing up a 4th and 1 on the goal line at the half. We dominated, which leads me to think we will beat them again in two weeks in the semi-final on the way to the championships. That is two teams that are prepared to secure the bag as the kids say, and one that needs to do a bit more work.

Some Thoughts:

  1. Watched the ASU game today and watched ASU fall apart. Yikes. 35-7 at the half. Looking like Iowa State out there–who also lost, btw.
