Today, October 25th was the make up game from yesterday. The game was postponed on Friday afternoon due to the threat of rain all day Saturday, however it never rained and was beautiful. So Sunday afternoon at 3:15pm WLO played Bessemer City and won 32-0. WLO played great. Robbie was able to score another touchdown and a 2 point conversion during the game. We were once again very proud of Robbie. Today was Robbie first time wearing his contacts in a game. Obviously they didn't bother him a bit and allowed him to see so much better. We were excited that friends of the family, Wayne & Jane Lowe came with Grandma & Grandpa to watch Robbie play and even score! Also Freda and all the Graggs there to watch too. We are really enjoying all the time together while having such fun! Next week will be the first round of play-offs. I'll let you know the time and place as soon as we know.

West Lincoln was defeated by Sherrill Ford

Saturday, October 10th at 10:15, West Lincoln Optimist were defeated by Sherrills Ford 22-0. This was a big team. They looked as if WLO was playing a middle school team. This week Robbie was one of the 4 team captains. And when lined up across from the opposing teams for the coin toss, the Sherrills Ford boys were a head taller than the WLO boys. The Sherrills Ford team scored right off the bat and the WLO player worked hard the rest of the game to hold them. SF was a great team and the score was not as bad as the game looked. Robbie played the entire game except the last 2 minutes, never getting a break. It seemed as if he played every position possible. He was even on the line. My small 80 lb Robbie was lined up across from a boy at least 200+ lbs. Boy, did that make mom nervous. But he handled it fine. He was quick and ran around him allowing him to help get in on many tackles. He also had one carry that got them the closest to scoring for the WLO team. When leaving the game Robbie was pretty exhausted and beaten up. He had a huge knot on his fore arm along with many bruises. He was even spitting grass from his mouth. He played very good even in a tough game. We were very proud of him.

Sunday, October 4, 2009 West Lincoln Optimist defeated Pumpkin Center Panthers at Bandy's High School at 11:15am. The score was 32 to 8. This was a make up game that was rained out last Saturday. The Rebels looked great during this whole game. They started this game out much better than Saturday's. They scored a touchdown within the first four minutes of the game. This was a great surprise since the Panthers were an undefeated team. Robbie played great and scored yet another touchdown!!! He carried the ball 40 yards to score. He almost had another touchdown too but was tackled at the 1 yard line. Mom came through this time and brought her camera. I actually got the touchdown myself instead begging for pictures from Sat. What a great end to a long football weekend......2 touchdowns by Robbie and 2 wins!

Robbie's First Touchdown!!!

Saturday October 3, 2009 - West Lincoln vs. Balls Creek at West Lincoln High School. West Lincoln won 28-12. Today's game was a great game to watch. It started out terrible for West Lincoln. The boys didn't play well in the beginning and there were lots of penalties. Once they got through the 1st quarter and were warmed up good things began to happen for them. Robbie scored a 2 point conversion and his first touch down today. His run was 55-yards while mom yelled all the way!!! No one touched him while he ran for his touchdown. This brought the score closer as West made their come back. It was a very proud moment for us. Robbie said that it "felt good". We were sorry that MawMaw Freda & Mackey and Grandma Wanda missed it. But Grandpa was there to witness it! So today was a great day on our home field.....weather was perfect, West Lincoln won plus Robbie scored his first touchdown. Let's see if they can do it again tomorrow at Bandy's. (Tomorrow's game is the make up game from last week)
