Under the Lights -- Timothy's First Tackle - Still Undefeated!!

Last night was a huge victory for the Van Reed JV Midget Bulldogs.  They played their Wilson rival, Lincoln Park.  It was a very special game, played at the high school on Bulldog Field under the lights.  Timothy got to be one of the team captains

It was a tough win for the Van Reed Bulldogs.  They had to play their hardest ever.  Lincoln Park went into this match up undefeated as well.  Someone had to go home with their first loss of the season.

Timothy took a terrible hit toward the end of the game.  Another player's helmet somehow got up under his chin into his throat/neck.  He was really hurting.  As a couple of his teammates helped him up, the rest all huddled around him to make sure he was okay -- every single one of them.  I didn't even realize it until I looked at the picture and counted 10 helmets huddled around him.


He was out of the game for a little while as he recovered and calmed down, but was able to get in the game again at the end.    I am so glad he was able to get back out there because had a part in his first tackle ever.  He was sooo excited.  My pictures are a little blurry. I was pretty excited as I was watching it happen.  :)

Timothy's autistic support teacher, who also played football in high school came out to watch the game.  Timothy was so proud of have people watching him play.
