V's First Football Game!

Well, after our kids stayed up ALL night for a youth "lock-in,"  V took on his first football game of the season.

He dug deep and rallied to meet the occasion!  It just strikes me as a tad bit unreal that he was able to play a football game after being up 26 hours, but he did!

Opening prayer.
 Such a wonderful league!

V facing a giant head on
V is no small kid, but some of these guys are walls!

Seriously....do you see the size of the other guy?!

And again!
Every time, he faced them straight on!

After game.
Boys deepening their roots to upright manhood.
Love it!

Crossing the field for the after game huddle.

NEVER have I witnessed this.
Both teams came together to edify the other,
calling out and congratulating the other team's players,
 plays, and over all efforts.

(Have I mentioned just how much I LOVE this league?)

V ate a hotdog on the way home and is now fast asleep in bed.  A well deserved rest for my all-star player!

You all have a GREAT weekend!

Blessings!
