Just in Case You Were Wondering . . .

. . . this was the score at the start of the third quarter.

And we were Visitor!  Heritage won the state championships Friday night! 

From the initial kickoff to Kingman

. . . where #5 caused a fumble, recovered by his teammate . . .

 . . . to all the patient waiting on the sidelines watching the action . . .

. . . it was an unbelievable game.

I must admit that I was among the doubters. 

I mean, after all, Kingman had beaten our team 36-14 just two weeks ago.

But these boys believed--in themselves . . .

. . . and trusted their coaches. I love Coach L (in the blue). He teaches with concern and strength, never belittling, but always pulling the best out of his players. Football coaches like that are a rare breed.

There was much to celebrate after the awards ceremony.  Ben and McKay were all smiles.

And there was no one more exhausted than Evie . . .

 . . . Ben still had energy to pull a few faces and go to a party afterwards . . .

. . . Mom couldn't have been prouder.  Final score--Heritage Heroes 60, Kingman Tigers 37.

I love this boy.

Anyone have a little Queen melody running through their head?

"We are the champions!"

Here's a little video of the second fumble he caused.  We've started calling him "Digger" (heard at the end of the video), because he just knocks that ball out when he tackles, then digs it up off the ground!
