Football game in IF with Calvary Chapel

 Pledge of alligance
 Love my #61
 Ready for the kick off
 One of the players, Jake Mickelsen, broke his ankle, so Zane played a few different positions in this game.
It was a hybrid game--we played 6 man offense (and they had 6 on their defense) & when they were on offense, we had an 8-man defense.

We have a young team (even though we have 3 seniors, they all started the season late, and some of them haven't been eligible to play because of grades.  So we have 1 Junior--he starts--and the rest are sophomores & freshmen)  They had only 2 sophomores & 1 freshman on their team--and it was their last game of the season so it was mostly their seniors that played.  They also had 1 "beast"--he was 6' 6" and weighed 260.  So overall, our team played a good game.  It was just a bit disappointing that the other team would only kick on-side kicks, and the game was called at half.  I would have loved to watch another hour of football.

Probably a good thing my mom wasn't watching:  Zane "missed" a pass but they called pass interference on the other team (missed videoing it because I was changing my batteries on my camera).  And then later, he was "horse-collared" and thrown down after a fumble recovery.  I have that on video & I am going to attempt to post that next.  But I could just "hear in my head" my mom yelling at the refs/other team for hurting he grandson  ;)
Needless to say, Zane was a bit sore after the game.
