As hoped, the team built on the previous week's victory and continued their improved play on offense. Defense and special teams though - kind of shaky. During the first half the Falcons got up early 14-0 and I was sure they were just going to roll all over their opponents. Then they got sloppy -... Continue Reading →
Freshman game catch up 10/14
A home game this time and the first one that #88 missed. Boy it was odd seeing him on the sidelines! Unfortunately I am now used to it 😦 Fortunately it was a very GOOD game. All those things that we normally complained about after those prior loses vanished. They tackled VERY well. They didn't... Continue Reading →
#88’s final game this season – Ref’s 6 – TP 3
10/7/10 We had no idea at the time, but in the final game this season for #88, he made the final tackle of the game (that's not a good thing since he's a wide receiver!) It was an evenly matched defensive struggle, punctuated with a few frustrating penalties by the Falcons. A field goal early... Continue Reading →

It had rained from about 9am through lunchtime at SportsBoy's school & also at my office. 15 miles South in downtown the Padres were playing a game that started at 4:00pm - a delay...

Clearly they had worked on tackling because the game ended with just seconds left as our defense stopped their offense from running in a 2 point... Continue Reading →
Freshman football update – Sept 9
It's been brought to my attention (ok, my mom bugged me) that I was remiss in writing up a game report last week. Oddly, given the result, I was somehow not terribly enthusiastic about it 😉 But, my write ups are needed for the continuing scrapbook she is keeping so I must keep up the... Continue Reading →
I think I melted
Can someone explain to me why I was so unprepared for the heat in Menifee yesterday? Even though it said temps would be in the triple digits? Even though they moved our original 5pm start time to 3:30? (which helped in terms of less traffic getting out there, but meant it was at a hotter... Continue Reading →
