Game 2 - 2012


Week 2 involved a bit of a drive. It was about 40 minutes from home. The weather was once again very nice. The sun was very bright and hot when it was out. Occasionally a cloud would obscure the sun and we would get a brief rest from the intensity.

I was very surprised that Vern had more playing time. It made for a fun fun game to watch.

                                    

In addition to his corner position Vern played on the offensive line. He seemed much more confident this week. He made some good tackles and blocked well.

Vern also was on the kickoff squad. I had never seen Vern do this before but he stepped up and did well.

I have to say, I was one proud mama.

Here are some photos. This first one is Vern on the kickoff team. Notice some things never change as his shirt is untucked...



It is hard to see #27 but he is to the right of the kid tossing the ball in photo below. He is blocking.
 
Here is Vern on the kickoff team again. He loves to play and it is the only time in his life he is on time and ready for the next play!!! 
 
 
Vern did a great job. Here he is after the post team meeting. He didn't want his picture taken but you can see how "stinky and sweaty" he gets. Amazing how young boys can get so ripe...

 
This final shot, we see the game board with  a win 19-0.  Season the team moved to 2 wins 0 losses.
 

 We have no games during Labor Day so next game is scheduled for September 9.


***Post note*** Vern's increased playing time was because one of his teammates had a concussion according to Vern.
