The End To An AMAZING Football Season

This past weekend Hunter played his final game. This football season all started back in July. Hunter was on a new team this year, all new coaches and for the most part all new team mates. The first weeks of practice we started to call Hunter old man Birch. He would come home from practice and need an ice pack, icy hot ,ibuprofen and listen to some classic rock. Hunter thought he wouldn't make it through practices. They were HARD. Just watching these boys made me want to throw up. Hunter ended up being one of the bigger kids on his team this year. He has been growing about an inch a month, and has put on 15 pounds this year.( of course none of it fat.... don't get me started!) Hunter had to work hard for positions, If you worked hard you played.Hunter was able to play so many positions this year and learned so much about football. My favorite part was to be able to see him run the ball this year. Where he plays line a lot it doesn't happen much, but the coaches this year gave him a shot, and he ran in a couple of PAT's. I think I was more excited that Hunter was! The team only lost one game during the regular season. We ended up making it to the Championship game. It was honestly one great game, the boys played so hard and everyone stepped up to a new level. We ended up losing to the same team that we lost to during the regular season, they were a great team. Even though it was sad to lose, they played an amazing game! It is even more sad to know that Hunter will not be playing with the coaching staff or the majority of his team next year. Because they are building a new high school and they live in the new high schools boundaries. This year was one to be remembered! GREAT JOB HUNTER!!
I have had so much trouble downloading pictures, but here are some throughout the season. I will keep trying to post more!Of course, the ones that won't download are some of my favorites.
