Are you ready for some FOOTBALL?

Brent loves coaching. He (we) have coached 2nd and 3rd grade basketball at church, and 3rd-5th grade baseball at church. Brent really wanted to coach football, so he signed up to coach a local league with the county. Their are 20 boys, 6 coaches (Brent is the head coach) and then one trainer! That's right, I am the trainer!! We really thought this coaching experience would be the same thing as coaching at church! NOT EVEN CLOSE! Today we played a Jamboree game at one of the HIGH School's football field. It was so cute to watch these little boys run out on this BIG field and play. The first play looked good. The second play, one of our little guys ran for a TOUCHDOWN!! We were amazed. The thing was that we had to play the best team in our county today. When their boys came onto the field they looked like GIANTS to our kids. But our boys faced the giants the best they could. Because it was a Jamboree game there were no penalties called so the other team did get two touchdowns on us to beat us 7 - 14. The refs said that if that was a real game, those touch downs would had been called back! We were so proud. God has blessed so much on this team. One of our coaches is in our S.S. class, which Brent recruited and at least one other coach is a Christian. A few of the boys go to our church, and the rest of the team's parents are blown away that Brent coaches but yet has no kids. It was funny after the first week of 2 hour practices for 5 nights in a row, there were mom's that were betting each other that Brent must be some kind of ministers because of his calm personality!! We are having a blast. I have included some cute pictures of our boys getting ready. I keep trying to post a video of their warm up chant, but have not accomplished it yet. I will keep trying. Pray for us as we continue to minister to these sweet boys and that we will be injury free. Additionally pray for us that we will continue to have opportunities to share the love of Jesus.
