Things started out rough right off the bat today, as a stripped ball was returned by Birch Run for a touchdown on our first offensive series of the game. Things got better from there, as we tied up the game a short while later. We gave up a touchdown just before halftime, and trailed 12-6. We tied the score up in the second half, and even took the lead in the fourth quarter, but the touchdown was called back due to a holding call. In the last few minutes of the game each team had chances to win, but turnovers became a problem for all of the kids. The final result was a 12-12 tie, as they don't play overtime (at least in this age group). Once again, #53 is Tyler.
