Friday nights game was a new experience. Talking to the HC before the game said he started the season with 19 kids. Lost 6 to non contact not football related season ending injuries. Found out while waiting for the bus that one kid can't make it. Shows up with 12. Halfway through 2nd quarter QB breaks his collarbone, down to 11. 2 minutes into 2nd half kid goes down with high ankle sprain. The HC sends the ref over and asks to run the clock because he will not forfeit. He said its not fair to our team, and will finish game with 10. I'll tell you what that team competed to the end, never once hung their head, and played with more heart than I have ever seen a team play with.

During the game one of their boys yelled to his team, "Dont give up boys, keep playing with heart." I told their Db on our sideline to tell his team in the huddle I didnt want to hear that again. To tell them they showed that they have plenty heart. I usually dont shake the opposing team kids hands, but I went and shook, not slapped hands, all 11 kids hands. (The QB was taken to the hospital during the game.)

Just got word that their season is officially over. The AD sent a letter to the league today informing them of the situation.
