Bears End of Year Party
Dec 4th was the end of season football party at Peter Piper Pizza. All the boys had fun, playing games (seeing who could win the most tickets) and most importantly getting their semi-finalist trophy. The Bears ended the season 6-4-1, 4th place (out of 12 teams). They boys have already set their goal for next season, the Turkey Bowl.
Congratulations Bears on a fantastic season!

Bears vs. Panthers 0-33
November 15, 2008
Well all I can say is that I'm thankful that the boys just survived this game. The Panthers were the top team with a 9-0 record. These boys were HUGE. I still say there was no way some of those boys were 10-11 yr olds. They were giants. I think the boys just let their size intimidate them. Plus, some of the boys didn't play fair. Just ask Ryan (sore neck & back), Chris (bruised ribs) and Tyree(bruise shoulder). But no matter the score the parents were all very proud of how they never quit trying.

Bears vs Owlets 7-2
November 8,2008
This was the 2nd best, most thrilling game the boys had. The Owlets beat us during the regular season 13-7 (due mostly to penalties). So this time the boys were hungry for a win. I have to say they were very determined to get to the 2nd round of the playoffs. So much so that they practically practiced in the dark.
This game was very exciting. If you've ever attended a Friday night Texas high school football game, then you can imagine the excitement in the stadium. The game started and the Owlets started to set the pace. But the best moments of the game was in the last 2 minutes of 4th quarter score was 7-0, the Owlets drove all the way to the Bears 6yd (4rd & goal). The Owlets fans were for sure their team was about to score a TD and go for 2 to win the game. But our boys held them and the ball was turned over on on downs. Unfortunately the Bears could not advance the ball and there they sat on their own 5 yd line, 4th & 23. The next 1:30 was something you see in the movies.The Bears offensive lines up, the QB drops back, into the end zone, and basically waits to be tackled, given the Owlets a safety and a free kick.
The Bears tried for the onside kick but the it was not successful. The Owlet recover on their 45 yd line with 1:10 to go. The Owlets QB drops back and is sacked! Now it's 2nd & 15. Again they line up, the QB drops back and launches the ball straight down the center of the field. From out of nowhere comes #2 Tyree Thomas with the game winning interception. All I can remember after that was all the jumping around, chest bumping,and High fives (and that was just the parents, just joking).
They worked incredibly hard all season and were the underdogs every time. I was so proud of these boys. I think the kids were proud of what they had just accomplished. They deserved this win.

Thanksgiving 2008
Nov 27, 2008
This year was the very first Thanksgiving that Ryan spent with his dad Drew, Ms. Stacy and his little brother and sisters. He couldn't fall asleep the night before because he was super excited. If he knew Drew & Stacy were surprising him with Dallas Cowboy tickets, he would've never went to sleep. He has always wanted to go to Thanksgiving day game (His Pop-pop goes every year.) So I knew he'd be excited and he was. When he got home that night he couldn't stop talking about it.
Ryan & Drew at the game.
Now he can't wait for Christmas break!!!
