Oh, the agony of defeat. Ayden and his team got to experience a valuable lesson this week. They lost their first game of the year. They now sit at 3-1. It was a very good game. Both teams were battling hard, but we were ultimatley outplayed by a better team. It came down to the extra point attempt in the first OT. Unfortunately we were stopped at the 1/2 yard line and lost the game. Ayden now gets to learn how to deal with losing, which will be good for him. He also got to deal with adversity during the game. He missed a blocking assingment on offense which led to a 5 yard loss for the running back. His coach chewed his behind pretty good. He got benched for the rest of the first half. Then he got a chance to run the same play in the 3rd quarter and blocked his guy to help spring the running back for a 13 yard gain. It is nice to see him learing life lessons by playing organized sports. Here's to an upcoming HARD week of practice and making a statement next week againg North Thurston. Keep working hard Ayden and KEEP YOUR HEAD UP.

It was a great game and fun to watch - just not fun to see them lose! But we had a really fun day!
He looks SO grown up in that picture! Seriously, it looks like he is in high school. How tall is he anyway? Great shot! And good luck to them at their next game! We are rooting for them!! :o)
That isn't actually Ayden in the picture. It is just a picture from online. It would have been a great shot though.
