After a long drive to the middle of nowhere, we were rewarded with an Brave victory. It isn't getting old to win, but today was difficult as we shared the sidelines with the other team, behind the opponents bench. Dumb setup.
What we witnessed was class act coaches encouraging, coaching, cheering, and lifting defeated 11-year-olds. They made several mistakes and repeated them several times. The coaches didn't berate or belittle, they built. It was awesome.
Also awesome was the fact that Tanner had two touches, big ones. He caught a kick-off return and ran it back for positive yardage, the last defender tripping him up at mid-field. But no, that wasn't enough, Tanner also had a fumble recovery.
It was fun to have Lucy join us; maybe she is our good luck charm;). More fun was Tanner having the chance to be proud of himself. Way to go buddy!
