Coming into the game both teams were undefeated. The Braves were the lucky ones to walk away still undefeated.
Hunter scored their 6 points in the first minute of the game. Uh oh. They shut us down on our first offensive drive. Uh oh. Tables turned when we intercepted and scored 6 plus the point after. There was no looking back from there.
After each game the coaches award the following: player of the game, the Rudy award (player with the biggest heart), hardest hit, and iron man. Tanner is not the star of his team and with the exception of when the entire team receives an award, Tanner has never been named. Coach today gave Tanner and two other boys the "Rudy" award for playing sick and/or injured.
I hope this meant as much to Tanner as it did to me. It might be easy to win, but I know this whole thing hasn't been easy for Tanner. He wants to be a star, and he isn't. He wants to play defense, and he doesn't (much). He wants a little fame and glory, and
he gets none. Coach didn't need to recognize Tanner today, but he did. Thanks!
