Raider Nation

Maxwell had his opening game last week and, well, it was AWESOME!! He’s been practicing so hard and it all paid off! Luckily all of his practices have been at MBE so he can walk there. Very nice for me!

Quite a crew of 5th graders playing football!

Maxwell was ready for his first game!

This kid played LIGHTS OUT on defense!! He had monster tackles as corner back. In one of the first defensive plays of the game, he tackled the running back (his friend Butler!) and Butler tried to get away but Maxwell didn’t let go, got a hold of that ankle and went for a ride to bring him down. It was awesome. He had another amazing 1 on 1 hit on Butler that made the whole crowd go “oooooh!!” haha! It was great. The best part though? He got an interception!! It was the 4th quarter, Raiders up by one TD and the Packers had a chance to tie if their play worked. But, nope! Maxwell read the play, grabbed the ball out of the air and changed the tide of the game. Go #29!!

It was such a fun way to kick off the season with a big W! Looking forward to more fun games with this crew!
