Today was another great Bulldog Victory. These boys absolutely amaze me every single Saturday. They play with such determination. They never slack. They beat Mifflin 40-6 earlier this year, so I was concerned that they may slack off a bit thinking it was an easy win. They certainly didn't. They played their best again, and this time, won 41-0. 
Timothy had a new experience today. One of the coaches brought anti-glare (aka war paint) for the boys. Timothy wanted it, but he was a little freaked out at first about having the coach put it on his face. He eventually let him put the pain on his cheeks, and he looked so cool.
The game was a lot like the others. Van Reed just dominated. They turned fumbles and kick off returns into touchdowns.
In the third quarter, the game began to play under Mercy Rule so the clock wouldn't stop. Some of the Mifflin players were beginning to struggle with their attitudes. With just a couple of minutes left to play, one of them took a cheap shot (late hit) with Timothy. I am pretty sure he was airborne for a second. It was a hard hit. It certainly testing my mama bear self control limit! 
I didn't need to worry though because instantly, Timothy was surrounded by teammates who not only helped him up, but helped him walk over to the side-lines. Thankfully, he wasn't seriously hurt -- more shaken up than anything -- and he was able to get back into the game for the last minute and a half. -- It's always best to end the game out there on the field playing. :)
