JR had his first game at the optimist youth football fields Saturday morning at 8:30am. He was excited, and ready for some hitting. The other team demolished them, and it wasn’t even close. Every time JR got the ball, he was immediately tackled by the other team. He did break a few runs for for a couple of yards and almost a first down, but his team did not even get a first down. We broke down the footage, and there wasn’t anybody blocking. JR had a tone of tackles on defense (he is number 12 same number as me when I was in little league football) and he hurt his knee in the last few minutes of the game. It was a good experience for the kids, and it let them know that they have lots to work on. It will be an interesting practice this week. He still had fun, even thought they got their buts kicked.
