Fall and Football

Did I tell you Isaac signed up for football this year. In 7th and 8th grades if you take athletics, they are able to participate in intramural competitive sports. Isaac got the class this year--which Mike really wanted him to take last year. Because of Mike's encouragement, he has shifted his opinion of the sport and is now developing those skills.

Because of the size of the classes, and the policy of no one getting cut, they have two teams, the A team and the B team. Isaac is a receiver on the B Team. They had their first game on Tuesday. He got a little game time and was able to hold his own. They lost 30-0. Isaac was consoled by the fact that the A Team, which played after his game lost 60-0. I guess our team has a lot of work to do.

Tuesday the weather was perfect for a first football game. The morning started out nearly cold (in relative terms. It actually felt like fall. The rest of the day was very moderate and there was a cool breeze during the game that almost made up for the glaring sun as the bleachers we were on faced directly west. Today is supposed to be back to the 90's, though, so fall is just teasing us.
