Tuesday The Boy's football team got to go to Salt Lake City and play the 6th Grade Super Bowl game! The week before they played the Number 1 Team and beat them 14-6. That gave them the bragging rights of playing for the championship.
Of course, the day of theg ame was cold and windy and by the time they played the actual game it was snowing pretty good too. These guys have been lucky that their season was unseasonalbly warm this year. So the cold, plus the snow, all on "speed turf" they weren't used to added a lot of factors against them.
The team played their hearts out and the defense held the other team three times to avoid the extra point, but the guys lost 24-0. Bummer.
The Boy's medal, he was quick to tell me, was the exact same as the first place team, except the engraved part said "Second Place" instead of first. Overall, he was more concerned about how cold he was than he was about losing a game. Plus, he was delighted that they were having a SuperBowl Party later this week for the team. It is all about the party.
Oh, by the way, The Boy's Helmet Hair went the way of the season yesterday, Gone!
The Boy first thing in the morning...not a happy kid yet.
