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.
