Our week Six game proved to be the most rewarding this year. We had our best execution on offense to date and won 42-26, bringing our record to 3-3. It was a battle of two equally talented single wing teams. You'd think we'd be able to stop each other but that was the beauty of this offense and game which was a real chess match bringing much mutual respect and great sportsmanship on both sides.

Well, we won another close one (our 5th in a row), 8-0, to improve to 5-1 on the season. We scored on our first possession, and held on the rest of the way. Even though we shut them out, it wasn't a very impressive defensive effort. We gave up 11 first downs (which usually means at least 3 TDs), and stopped them in the red zone 3 times, including 2 inside the 10 (once on downs, once when time expired in the 2nd quarter, and once when we made an interception in the end zone). I'm proud that my defense made plays when it counted, but very frustrated that we had so much trouble getting off the field. Their QB was very mobile and he kept scrambling (or maybe they were designed QB draws, I'm not sure), and picking up first downs on 3rd or 4th and long. We've got to do better.
Here's a funny stat on our season (it will give you an idea of how close all of our wins have been): despite the fact our record is 5-1, we have scored exactly as many points on the season as we have allowed. LOL.

We were down by a touchdown but scored 28 unanswered points to move to 6-0. We challanged the boys all week to 1) execute , while 2) playing with emotion. Last couple of weeks they were flat and sloppy. Not so this game. It was far from perfect, but i was real proud of them.

Grade 3-4 won 34-6 Grade 5-6 lost 62-54 in OT- not a misprint The other team had a huge and fast kid, dont know how he made ball carrier weight who scored 8 TDs- combination of extremely poor tackling and intimidated kids. First time in 125 games, that 1 kid beat us. We fumbled on 1 in OT and missed our go ahead for win PAT by 6 inches with about 90 seconds to play. Both were undefeated going in. 38-36 at half made a single halftime adj on defense that limited him to 2 scores in reg in 2nd half, but still not enough. We knew exactly where he was running, had players in position and it didnt matter, unreal game.
Grade 7-8 lost 26-14 again both undefeated going in. 4 Stripers to my 1 and both of my corners out, 1 to concussion other ill on already very thin team. Fumbled opening KO plus 2 other turnovers hurt us. Down 14-8 at half- got to 3 yd line at half, ran out of time. Opening KO 2nd half we onsides, ball in the hands of my kids, we flub it away .Winnable game for sure, but very good effort by kids ( minus the 3 turnovers)

First loss of the season, 33-26. Against a very good team with a strong O-line and a stud RB. If we take care of bidness this week we should see them again in the bowl game.

moved to 6-0 against a pretty good team. Score was 20 - 12 (up 20-0 at halftime)... gave up 2 TD's on second/third team defense.
Also lost a TD on a play where our Backer blew a kid up in the backfield with a vicious form tackle. The ball popped loose, and we had a certain "scoop and score" but the official blew the whistle inadvertently. I talked to him about it, and he said the hit was so good that he kind of choked on the whistle... it was the best youth football hit I've ever seen.

We won again. 16-6 once again a dismal output by the offense. But I will take the W. Got a safety and a forced fumble recovery for a TD. Great on D, just stagnant on offense.

Ugh. Just got done watching the film of Saturday. My OL and DL were pretty weak. Had some good spots but no consistency. We'd have won with good line play. I have obviously not stressed some things enough as line coach. That will be fixed, they may not like me too much after tomorrow.

Back to back Losses for us puts us at 2-2.
We have to bounce back this week. Game sends one team toward playoffs the other towards the end of their season.
I have all the confidence in the world in our boys. Hope to post a big win come Monday night.
Good luck to everyone!
