Tyler's football team, of which I am also an assistant
coach, opened their football season on Saturday, September 12th, with a tough
16-8 victory over the Durand Railroaders. Tyler got to see a fair amount of
playing time (although I am sure that we both would have liked to see him in
more). He got to play the line of defense (which he hadn't practiced before),
line and 4-back (essentially a wing, or tight end) on offense, and special
teams. He was most excited to be on the field blocking when we scored our second
touchdown of the game! Just a reminder, Tyler's number this season is 95 (a
departure from the #53 that he wore the past two seasons). And I need to say a
special thanks to Tara for taking pictures for me. I really appreciate it!

Tyler usually isn't on the extra point team, so he started to
come off the field before being told to stay out and block.
