Bears soccer, Week 2 & 3

Gm3: 1/23: The first week we’ve had all 10 players at the game. We did our best job keeping our hands off the ball & almost everybody did a good job turning the ball around into the correct. As a team we’ve grown already since our first game. Goals scored by multiple players this week & a couple others came really close to scoring. Superstar of the game went to Noble for keeping the ball going in the correct direction & getting on the score board for the first time. Super 6-3 win over the Grinches. Let’s keep getting better & have fun.

*********************************** Gm2: 1/16: Well Jaxon came off the bench this week & Andrew made it to his first game. Andrew had a little rough start but by the end of the game was running & kicking with the rest of the bunch. David is always a big player but the Superstar of the game went to Samuel for stepping up & helping score a few goals this week. We worked on no hands & turning the ball around to the correct direction. 5-2 win over the Cubs. Good job Bears.

Raiders Basketball game 1/16/2010

The first basketball game of the year & we started it off on the right foot. The boys played a very good game in spite of the fact we've only had 2 practices. Several steals leading to scores helped lead us to a nice 22-17 win over the Eagles. Hustle awards for everybody. Keep up the good work.

Well we started the season off with a big 8-0 win over the Grinches we only had seven players this week & Jaxon wouldn't come off the bench till late in the game. Super-star of the game was David with all 8 goals.

The quote of the day is

"I like this game. Can you get me a donut?"

Thanks to all the Blue Devils sponsors that helped make this day happen.

Play-offs Round 2, 11/21/09

REMATCH! Cold, Wet, & Muddy. We are in for a sloppy game this night. The Cheetahs & Blue Devils go back & forth on the field till the Cheetahs push one in. The Blue Devils quickly answer through the air to set up the tying touchdown & 2 point conversion. Emotions running high going into halftime tied & win or go home on everybody’s mind the second half starts. More of the same till the Devils give the ball up deep in their own territory three times in a row putting an end to our roller coaster season with a 28-8 loss. It’s been an honor & pleasure coaching this group of young men. Most of this unit will move onto Jr. High football & I would like to with them all the best of luck & I hope they have enjoyed their time with me.

Week 5, 10/10/09

Tough game this week.
We were playing a well coached Burleson Red team that came from behind to beat us last year. With a 6-0 lead most of the game Phil & I were very anxious to get more points on the board to keep the same from happening again. With the Defense not allowing Burleson in the red zone all game we ran the ball for some tough yards till we finally got loose to open up to a 2 score lead giving us a little breathing room. Ending in a hard fought 14-0 win
Players of the game TBA:

Vertis Garrett, Brylin Johnson, Blake Gross
