Boys, what fun we have had playing football this year. It has been so hectic, but it has been fun, too. All 3 of you played on 3 separate teams...you had practice 3 nights each week....at the same time...at 3 different locations!! Sometimes it seemed like you boys outnumbered mommy and daddy, but somehow, someway, we made it work out.
Riley, you are playing for the 7 year old West Jackson Panthers. It was your first year playing football, and you act like you have been waiting your whole life to play. You have played QB, RB and WR on offense...and Safety and CB on defense. You had been begging to run the ball, and finally in week # 6 your coach let you run it. Mom went to your game that day and she says that you ran for over 50 yards, and it was taking 4 or 5 players to bring you down. I bet that you get the ball a bunch more times before your season is over!! Great job on your first year of football, buddy!
Cody, you are playing for the 8 year old West Jackson Panthers. You have found a natural position, I think. You play center, and you just look like a center. You and Jake Stinchcomb, who is the QB for your team, are a great little pair. You guys practice your snaps on the sidelines during the games just like pro players do. The first game of the year, you and Jake had a bunch of issues with the snaps, but since that game, you guys have worked hard and those issues have gone away! You also have turned into a great little blocker. I watch you after you snap the ball, and you are locked up on the guy that you are supposed to block. There is no way that your guy is getting to your QB! Great job, Cody!
Jay, you are playing for the 11 year old West Jackson Panthers. At the first of the year, your coach had you playing defense, but in about the 3rd game, he moved you to your more natural position of offensive line. This has, by far, been your best year of football. You lock up on the guy that you are supposed to be blocking, and you move him out of the way. The majority of the running plays that your team runs come right to the hold that you open up. Jay, we are so proud of you. This has been a tough year for you on the football field. You have had to deal with other kids picking on you and cheap-shotting you. You have handled it much better than we could have ever asked. You took it, and took it, and took it until it was time not to take it any longer. Finally, you had your fill, and you defended yourself. And here is the part that makes me the proudest of you. After you gave it back to those boys, we gave you the opportunity to quit football for the rest of the year, and you chose to finish it out. That makes me so proud of you, Jay Baugh! You are such a better / bigger man than I could have ever hoped that you would be. I Love You, and I pray that you keep your selfless attitude as you grow into a man! You are going to do great things one day! Great job, Jay!
Without a doubt, the most fun day of the season was September 17....we played 3 games at the high school. Cody was the captain for his team that day, and he got to go out before the game and do the coin toss and meet the referees. Jay's team played North Hall, and Gigi was a cheerleader for the North Hall team. Riley's team played North Hall, and Brady played for them. It was so much fun having all of the family there that day watching all of you play ball and cheer. It is so much fun watching you boys grow up!!
