Green and Gold Game


In the south, the priorities are God, Football and Family. On Saturday we had the first of many looooooooooong football related outings.

Pelham Highschool has a new head football coach. He has decided that he wants everyone that plays football in the Pelham/Helena area to run his offence. Starting with the Pee-Wees.

Saturday was the first annual Green and Gold games. It started at 10am with the 65 pound boys playing and ended up around 9pm that night with the high school playing.

Christopher plays on the 8th grade team. The coaches asked that the 9th graders show up in time to watch their 7th grade counterparts play.

The 7th grade game was called on account of lightning. We actually waited for 2 hours for the weather to pass. Then the 8th grade boys had the opportunity to play. First scrimmage... under the lights... in the rain.

Delightful.

Christopher played defensive end. He was in on 2 tackles... he's getting better.
