What a game.
If you like suspense and drama well there you go, that was everything it was built up to be.
After Saturday we are 2-0 but not with out working for it. Our offense was a bit stagnant but in OT our lineman decided if it was meant to be it was up to them and I tell you what they dominated the line of scrimmage in Overtime.
The Defense came up big the whole game with the exception of one play and I was very proud of them.
If you don't know the rivalry between the two teams let me fill you in. Their coach (Kerry Briggs) is a very good friend and co worker of mine and his son Casey played on Gentry's 1&2 grade team when they were both in the first grade, Last year Kerry took over the Saratoga Springs/West Lake team. This started a small friendly rivalry that includes a "Bronze Boot" The story behind the "Bronze Boot" goes something like this, We both work at a Rock Quarry that is also a landfill.
Well one day while working this load of garbage comes in and sitting on top is the worlds most Gaudy full sized "Bronze Boot", It was the source of some practical jokes for a while then one day it came up that when our teams play each other that this eye sore has to sit in the losing teams coaches house on display for the next year. well thankfully Kerry has been the Boot holder for two consecutive years, yesterday it looked as if it may be coming to my house but thank goodness we pulled it out so Kerry and his wife need to clear the mantel for another year. Hot Dog!, Thanks team.
I will post the players of the game on Monday evening, it will be a tough decision because all our boys played very well. See you at practice.

It was a stressfull game from the sidelines! We even witnessed Coach Freeman throw down a clipboard (priceless). As for the boot, it looked like it's been polished up, but still not mantle worthy! I'm happy for Lissa that your home is void of it for another year! Great game boys (and coaches)!
