Football Champions
Davis’ football season wrapped up on Saturday when they played for the league championship for their age division. They played the game against the only team that had beaten them this year, and had beaten them thoroughly 33-6. The team started off slowly and allowed Ballard to score the first touchdown, mainly on a series of sweeps that the defense was just not containing. The coaches pulled the defense to the side and challenged each of them to shut down the corners. The result was 24 unanswered points and a touchdown by Ballard towards the end when the game was pretty well in hand. The 89er Green Timberwolves won the game 24-16.
It was really a great season for the team and one in which you could watch and see a group mold themselves into a tight-knit team. They were led by a head coach who stressed honor, discipline, and teamwork and constantly pushed the kids to follow that guideline. Ultimately, the result was a team effort and one they should all take great pride in. They worked as hard as I think 8-9 year olds can work. They gave up sugar, soda, friend’s parties, and other things through the season because they had committed to the team that they would be there and do their part. It was a lot of fun to watch.
The pics below show the final standings and records for their division. Davis team is the Silverlake Green Timberwolves and the team they played in the championship was Ballard Silver.
Congrats to Davis and his team!
