Sam had his first full game today, and lost to Baylor. They did okay in the first half of the game; however, one of his team mates suffered a head/neck injury as the result of a late hit, and had to be taken to the hospital to make sure that everything was okay. The boys had to sit in the sun and wait for about 20 while waiting for the ambulance, and they seemed to not be able to really get back in the game after that. Sam played both defense and offense, and only sat out a couple of plays. He was disappointed in a couple of passes that he missed, but made a couple of good tackles and a punt return. I have assured him that for a 5th grader playing his first game ever (on the 6th grade team against 6th and 7th graders) that was a showing to be proud of, but Sam struggles with focusing on his mistakes sometimes (hmmm, where does he get that?). Here's a slideshow of the pics I took from today's game:
