Northview Black Wins!!!

Logan's team won its football game today, 16-8.  (In this league, a kick for a PAT scores 2 points.)

Logan was out for a few plays after complaining that he got his bell rung.  I really don't like his helmet.  I see it's some sort of reconditioned helmet that probably wasn't that nice to begin with.  Almost all the helmets these days are pumped up with air and I don't think this one is working properly. 

I'm going to buy him a helmet.  The season is halfway through, but I don't want this kid getting a concussion. 

The whole shebang costs less than $200.  I can get one through Amazon Prime, so it'll arrive this week.  I know that doesn't sound like a good use of money, but I've never been one to skimp, especially where there's a chance of preventing a mishap for my son.

I'm not sure how bad he's getting his bell rung, but it's bad enough that he'll miss a few plays now and then.  I'm already counting on the likelihood that the helmet won't fit him next year, but who knows. 

Logan had a great game today.  Completed two passes.  Ran the ball tough up the middle.  Had three runs in particular that were pretty big.  Two first downs and when we had the ball on the 6, he ran it to the 3, where the QB punched it in the next play. 

Got roughed up a bit, but if he wants to play fullback, he needs to get used to it.  I don't get to worried about injuries except for knees and concussions.  Both of those are the types of injuries that don't ever really heal.

Anyway, great win today.  The team we played was the other Northview team.  I think because so many of their kids go to school with our kids, they came in really fired up.  Looked dire until the 4th quarter.  They went up 8-0.  We pounded the ball in for one TD.  We converted our kick.

So, rather than settle for the tie, they threw the ball deep and we picked it.  That set up the winning drive just as time expired.

The team, overall, is 1-1-1.  However, the loss and the tie could just as easily have been wins.  We've played all 3 other teams in the league.  Now, we play them one more time, then the season is over.
