Grid kid Sawyer and Soccer Raegan

I don't have any pics of Sawyer's game against Eagle Rock. It's a good thing because it was not a pretty picture. Let's just say they lost. Sawyer did run for a 65 yard touchdown with some pretty sweet moves. He ran the ball the whole time in the 2nd half after getting only TWO touches in the 1st half. He was the only player in the 1st half that ran for gained yards. I think his coaches finally pulled their heads out in the 2nd half and decided to give the ball to the one that was gaining yardage.....too late though. Sawyer works so hard that he's been approached by a coach who wants him to skip 5th grade grid kid next year and play with the 6th graders.....pretty cool.

Raegan had a rough week. Her team lost all three games this week. The bright side is the other teams were all full 6th grade teams. The loss on Wednesday was the first loss for Raegan and Alex in 4 years.....she was pretty upset and understands that its a whole different ball game now and she needs to step up. One interesting tidbit. The coach of the other team talked to us after the game and told us that he tried to get Raegan on his team but she was gone by the time it was his turn to pick. Apparently at the beginning of the pre-season when the girls go to pick-up games set up by the BYSL organization, the girls are ranked according to their skills. Raegan was ranked #2 overall. Not bad. Once she quits being intimidated by 6th graders that are taller than me, she will be just fine. She's al little frusterated cuz she's not used to losing.......she's still a winner to me! Enjoy the pictures of Raegan's double header in Pocatello....check out the really tall girl who is really taller than me..
