Football: September 11, 2010 WLO vs Bessemer City at West Lincoln HS

West Lincoln Optimist was played at our home stadium, West Lincoln HS. We played Bessemer City and played a fairly good game. The score was 18-8. Robbie scored the only touchdown and we were all very excited. We even had someone come up to us after the game to say that it was the first touchdown for WLO 11-12 year olds in a year & a half. Robbie again played the entire game and was exhausted at the end of the game. He started by being tackle by a huge kid in the first play of the game. It was a hit so hard everyone talked about it for days. For moments Tony and I didn't know whether he was going to get up. We weren't sure if we were going to the ER after the game or HomePlace to eat supper like we usually do. But Robbie popped up and played until he had run out of steam when the game was over. He had been stepped on so many times, he was bruised on all parts of his body. We are so proud of his determination and love for the game. We were also excited to have his grandparents, Wanda & Gary and Freda & Mackey there to witness his touchdown. Along with Uncle Steve and cousins, Myra Grace & Carter, Uncle Rodney and cousins Barrett & Parker.
