yesterday sam and mason each played in the championship game in their football tournaments..... spencer county was so excited about the games that they gave our team convoy a police escort out of town!!! people pulled over on the road and honked and waved as we went by in our decorated cars!!! and the police were posted at every light so we didnt have to stop and get seperated!! it was sooo incredible!!! at one point mason turned to me and said "mom - my heart is beating like 200 yards"!!! and even though it didnt make any sense at all - i knew exactly what he meant!! sam did his best job ever at sitting the bench...... poor kid only got to go in on the last play of the game........ he played corner back and the play went the other way - so he didnt get any action at all....... mason played his heart out!!!!!! he was incredible at center, handed the ball off like a pro and blocked like a brick wall!!! as nose guard he pushed and pushed and PUSHED!!! he got through the line quite a bit - making one huge tackle that the entire world felt - i think there were even after shocks!!!
but sadly both sam and mason's team ended up taking second place....... an honor that today sounds pretty good - but yesterday brought tears to their eyes!!
but to dear old mom - all three of my football hero's take first place!!!! great season to all three of my #16 Cooper football players!!!
