More Football

Football has kind of taken over our lives lately (the boys have it almost every day, except Sunday).  This year is Jaren's first year playing and Kayden's fourth.  Last year their team won the Southern Alberta finals, but about half the team moved on to the Sr High league.  It is a real growing year for their team this year, so I think it had been a bit frustrating for all involved!!

 The boys are learning lots though, so if they keep at it, they will ROCK it next year!

 Kayden mostly plays offense now and I think has scored five touchdowns this season.  YAY Kayden.  In the above picture, (you can't really tell from the photo), he had an AWESOME tackle. 

We have had really good football weather up until last nights jamboree.  It was snowing and windy.  Not fun.  It is supposed to be way nicer this weekend for their road trip to Lethbridge!  Go HAWKS!!

Football Season has arrived!!!

With football season in full swing - we are keeping super busy.  Both Kayden (#4) and Jaren (#72) are playing this year.  The team is grades 7-9, so Kayden is on the Senior end of things, and Jaren is a newbie!

This picture was maybe not the best because that catch that the brown team member caught was meant for Kayden.  They have a brand new quarter back, so they are working out some things.  Oh well, it is what it is!!  He (Kayden) has been having a pretty good season - he already has three touch downs and has had some pretty great plays.  So far, the newbie has only played a couple of minutes (more than some others though, so he is happy).  Jaren does get to start tomorrow night at the away game in Brooks though!  Hooray! And, so far, the weather has been really  nice for us fans.  Fingers crossed it stays that way!!!

SAMFA Tier 2 Champions

This year, Kayden's team made it to the Tier 2 Championship Game!!

 They played against Taber Rebels at the U of L stadium (Kayden is #4).

It was a super exciting, action packed game with lots of good plays, but also some not so good ones.  One of their senior players got injured and had to be taken off the field in an ambulance. 

At the far right of the above pic, you can see Kayden low to the ground, tackling a Taber player.  The game was quite close for a while - (20-28) and there was a very good chance that Taber would score.  But, the Hawks were able to hold them off and secure the win!

What a view from this awesome field!

Again, Kayden is in the middle of the tackling!  Go Halladay!

This is a pic of the team celebrating with their trophy!  Now, for the semi finals this weekend!

Medicine Hat News Cup

This year Kayden is playing for the Medicine Hat Hawks Football team and he is LOVING it!  I enjoy seeing him succeed and love to see his dedication.  They practice every day for two hours and the result - they are the winners of the MH News Cup.  That means they beat every team in the city.  Now on to the surrounding areas!  Bring on Cardston tonight!

MHTFA Champions

So, I have been negligent in my blogging as of late.  I had better get on it as life keeps on happening whether I am blogging about it or not!  So here goes!  Kayden's Pee-Wee football team won the city championship at the beginning of the month.  The boys were totally pumped about this!  Last year they went undefeated, and lost in the final.  This year, they weren't having any of that. They played hard and ended up being victorious.   They were a bit behind at the beginning of the game, but one of the players started to be super positive and got the rest of the team pumped and well, like I said, they ended the night the way they wanted to!

 It was so FUN to watch Kayden play this year.  He has grown so much as a player - it has been really cool to see this.  I hope that he continues to develop his talents in all the sports that he is interested in.  Tomorrow he finds out if he made the basketball team.  Keep your fingers crossed! :)
