Today was NOT a good day for football. The survivor football pool had six people remaining. Five bet on Washington and one on New Orleans. So much for going with the odds favorites as an upset left Washington with a two-point loss.
T is ultimately bummed, although he's by far not the only one. A 49-yard field goal with two seconds left!
Maybe next year.
It was also the Regional/Sectional Punt, Pass, Kick competition. Not that my son really bothered to practice or anything since qualifying a month ago, but the weather was fabulous in the high 70's. Seeing that they didn't tally the scores at the competition, knowing how he really fared is just a best guess. However, we do know that he didn't win.
T gave a valiant effort and I would have to say that for not practicing and not playing football for the past two years, he still does quite well. Although I wouldn't say that the competition is a fair representation of youth athletes in the area as very few actually complete, in our town at least. I would guess that T finished in the top three, although the first place qualifier is the only one that has a chance to compete at Ford Field for the state competition. The winner by a longshot had T beat by about 60' or so. He blew everyone out of the water.
Maybe next year.
