Defeated in Playoffs by East Lincoln

We played a good game but just wasn't quite enough. Going in, we thought East Lincoln would run over us. But it was a close game. Exciting to watch. The first nerve racking part was when Robbie got hurt in the first quarter of the game. He hyper-extended his leg. Mom was a nervous wreak. The coaches carried him off the field and thank goodness Tony was there. We went to him at the edge of the field and he couldn't walk on it very good but could put weight on it. So we were relieved we didn't think it was broken. After some time, ice, aspirin and of course a pep talk from dad, he was back in the game in time for the 2nd qtr. He played well but you could tell he was a little reserved when he first returned. The rest of the game was a nail biter. It was back and forth and we made a few mistakes at the wrong time. We just couldn't recover from them. We were extremely excited that we gave East Lincoln a run for their money. The season is now over and we are very proud of the boys. They did a great job! We had a fun party at Hickory Dickory Dock with pizza and lots of games to celebrate. I'm extremely proud of Robbie and his first year of football. We'll definitely be back next year!!!
