Friendship Bowl

The season is over so the good teams get to have a playoff and the not so good teams get to have a friendship bowl.

Vern and his team were matched up with another 1-6 team and this was their Friendship Bowl.

I had high hopes that Vern's team would win since their only other win this year was a game I missed.  This game I was in Orlando and really hating missing it but when work calls you have to go or you don't have a job any more.

Here are some photos from the game.

The first shot is of Vern making a tackle.

Here we have Ann showing off. She ran around the track for some attention.

 Here is Vern on the sidelines. I guess he was here more this week than in other weeks.  One theory is that since he is not playing for this team next year, they sidelined him. I don't believe that.

Here is a shot of Vern running to make a tackle.

 And here we have a shot of some antique tractors. It was across from the field and I am sure hubby was using his zooooom lens. :-)

Things I was told: they had a score, got it taken away, and then scored again.

Vern only played defense this game. No one seems to know why but there are a lot of conspiracy theories out there!

It was a good game but we ended up losing.

Final score:

Well that wraps up this season. It has been fun. I am sad to see it end but glad all the running to practices are over. Time consuming for us!

Until next time,

Game 6 - More of the same...

It was another beautiful fall day in the midwest. Good time for some football!  I only wish Vern's team would win a few...

We had to drive about an hour to get to the game. We left right after church, had a picnic lunch, and got lost in the itty bitty town trying to find the field.  The field was NOT by the school. It was located at a sports complex clear across town with no signs. Nice...

Well good thing we had a few extra minutes. We finally found it and got Vern suited up and ready to play.

This town announced the players. Here is Vern running out as he was announced.

I like to call him...untucked boy. No matter what this kid has his jersey untucked. All the other boys are neatly tucked into place except Vern... I guess I can pick him out easier on the field this way. :-)

Hubby was off watching the Kansas City Chiefs beat the ViQueens so John and Ann took pictures. I wanted to try taking some but they would have NOTHING to do with that. They took turns. Quarter 1 John, Quarter 2 Ann, and so forth.  All these photos are from the kids taking them. Not to bad I guess.  WHY this photo is in as my pick... I dont know. It is of the other other team running down to score.

Here we have Vern getting ready for the play. He is playing center again and always Johnny on the spot as far as lining up and getting the play ready to go. He truly loves the game.

Here we have the sad final. On a good note, they did score two touchdowns. Did I mention the weather was perfect?

Until the next game,

DA MOM.
