Drake Football Update.....

Had a game on Wednesday night, at the high school. Glad I was sitting under cover. When I got there it was not too bad but about the end of the 1st quarter it started pouring buckets. (I thought Missy was crazy when she sent me a text that she was sitting in the pouring rain watching soccer. At that point it had not hit us yet.)

Started out to be a good game, but quickly became boring. We were up 22-0 at the end of the 1st quarter, won 28-0. Drake did have a highlight, they were on defense and it was either 3rd or 4th down and the quarterback threw a pass and Drake intercepted it. He managed to run it back about 7 yards (YEAH DRAKE, would have been cool if it was a TD), but it did set up the offense to score the 1st TD of the game. Of course I did not have my camera ready for it either. As I said, after that it got boring. Pop Warner has a rule that if you score more than, I think 28 points and beat them, then your coach is suspended. We had several times where we got the ball and just punted it back to them. Drake did end up playing quarterback for most of the offense and it was good practice (but kinda frustrating becuase he couldn't pass and did not have the normal running backs),
But a win is a win and they are now 3-0. Looks like a promising season!! Keep it up boys.
