Super Bowl

November 16, 2022

The 6th grade Falcons made it to the Super Bowl! It was a warm and weirdly humid evening but it sure was fun to get to watch these boys play under the lights at night!

Ready to go!!

It was a great game. Maxwell played maybe the best I’ve seen him play all season and had some monster tackles. Unfortunately the Falcons came up short. I’m really sad his rec football days have come to an end because I sure did love watching him play! He played in 4th, 5th and 6th grade and made it to the Super Bowl two of those years and won the Super Bowl in 5th grade. Not bad at all!! I hope he continues to play in the Junior High because he’s got talent!

I’m just so proud of Maxwell and how he handles himself in all situations. He’s a good athlete and an even better kid!

Rise up!

Go Falcons

November 15, 2022

Maxwell’s last year to play rec football and he went out with a fantastic season and team! He had some good buddies on the Falcons with him and a really great coach. Like last year, Maxwell played corner back all season and pretty much never let anyone get by him! Lockdown corner for sure!! I had lots of parents – and the coach! – tell me what a good football player he is. He attacks the play and makes the tackle with no hesitation.

I sure loved watching both of these boys play this season!

The Falcons had a pretty good season – good enough to get a bye in the first round of the playoffs! They won their second round playoff game and got to go to the Super Bowl! Woohoo!! Full Super Bowl round up tomorrow!

They celebrated the night before with a team party…

Geaux Saints

November 14, 2022

Spencer had another fantastic season of tackle football on the Saints! He had his same coaches as last year – which I think is a huge compliment because that means they picked him in the draft again! He played QB all season and had good opportunities to hand off the ball, make some passes, and also run the ball! He had several TDs and lots and lots of great plays. He really honed his leadership skills on this team and I could not be more proud of him.

With Coach T!

The team ended the season tied for second place with 5 wins and 2 losses. They made it to the second round of playoffs but lost to the Vikings. Our big center got hurt the first play of the game and the Saints just couldn’t overcome it. No Super Bowl appearance this year but still a fantastic season for an awesome team!

I sure do love to watch #7 play!

At the team party, Spencer got the Bobby Hebert Mr. Quarterback Award. Well deserved!

A fantastic season with a great group of kids. I’m so proud of how Spencer played and how he handled himself all season. I see more football in his future!!

Geaux Saints! Who Dat?!

Cheering at the Super Bowl

November 10, 2022

The Jets made it to the Super Bowl so it was up to the cheerleaders to make some spirit happen! Which means it was up to the cheer moms! ha! I put together and delivered porch surprises for all of the players….

and then somehow also ended making the giant run-through for the game. I can’t say I was wanting to do this but, let’s get serious, I love this kind of stuff and actually had a lot of fun making the sign…

I had good helpers too! GJ was my consultant behind the scenes and Maxwell worked on the football and it looked perfect.

I think it turned out pretty darn good! We learned a lot about making a run-through. Things to remember: the poles are 9 feet, the sign was 12 feet wide, we taped the sign to the poles, rolled it up and then cut tiny holes reinforced by tape and tied string around the poles to hold it. We ended up adding more ribbon to the poles out at the field to use as supports on either side to keep the top taught. We also put some clear tape along the back of the top to give it stability.
