1st Football Game

Yesterday Brett played in his first football game. His team is the Winfield Caveliers. Their colors are Black and Gold. He is on Black offense and Black defense... which basically means he is on second string. The coach is real fair about getting all the kids equal game time though. Brett did really well on the line; he held his ground even with kids bigger than him. At half time the coach was talking to the team and he said "Even little Brett Knox who only weighs 45 pounds soaking wet was standing up to the big guys." Brett is among the three or four smallest kids on the team, but he is showing how tough he can be. He is too cute on the field, he gets pumped up on the line and he already has a routine of playing with his mouth piece and jumping up and down before they get set. He is really enjoying the sport. After the game, the coach gave out some packs of football cards as "game cards" (can't really give out footballs, that would be too expensive). There is this little boy named Mike, number 28. Man is he fast. He had tackle after tackle all day. So, of course he got the cards. It was a really good game and Charlie and I both had a great time watching the kids.

Before the game, we broke down and went to Wal-Mart and got a Digital Video Recorder. I think it is very similar to the one Shelby and Bud have. It's a slick little thing. So, we were able to get a lot of good video of Brett. As soon as I figure it out, I'll try to put some video on crazyside.com.
