The game on Saturday, October 16th, was another blowout
for Tyler's football team, although this one was expected. We knew going in to
tonights contest that we wouldn't be facing much of a challenge, as Flushing had
only score 12 points all season long. Once again, because of the 25-point suspension possibility,
we let the opposition score so that we would be able to score again ourselves, but
their drives took longer than we had hoped, leaving us little time to try and
score again. We played defense with as little as 8 players on the
field tonight, just trying to let that happen. Unfortunately a player was
injured on their last kickoff to us, and we were forced to call the game with a
little over two minutes remaining instead of waiting for the ambulance to arrive
and then resuming play. It was a terrible way to end the season, as well as some
of these players Holly Youth Football careers - including Tyler's. We wanted
nothing more as coaches to be able to end the game scoring one last time as
these kids worked so hard throughout the season, but it wasn't meant to be.
Thankfully they have a perfect 6-0 record for the season and a division
championship to look back on. Go Bronchos!
Tyler had another good game today, making several good
blocks on offense. He played a good game on defense as well, especially
considering the amount of movement we did with the players while trying to let
them score. He played cornerback a lot in the second half, but the coach had him
stand so far away from the line of scrimmage (while trying to let Flushing
score) that he wasn't really able to make too many plays.
