3 weeks In

This is a football post. We're three weeks into our 2009 season. Once again I have not been keeping consistent with the updates. It was a lot easier to make consistent entries when we were trapped in the hospital and there was nothing to do. So onto football.
Week 1 was brutal. Brookside Christian was a good team, and we were not. Then. We had the wrong scheme in place the first half to counter their speed, and we did not really block anyone nost of the night. We've learned from that and gotten better.
Week 2 was a terrific win for us. We really should have beaten Delhi by 4 touchdowns or so. We had 2 TD passes called back on rediculous penalty calls, and the ref was telling the other team he'd do what he could to make sure they'd win. No joke. So anyhow, we had a 7-0 lead with time running out. Delhi is driving, and gets to the 1 with no timeouts and the clock ticking (about 40 seconds or so). We stop them 4 times from the 1 to win the game. Really cool.
Week 3 we travel to Galt HS to play Jim Elliot. Once again we improve some more and we come away with a handy 21-7 win. Blocking is getting better and better and the young guys get experience with being o-lineman.
This week we have Sierra Rite of Passage at home. It looks to be a fairly evenly matched game. W feel like we'll win if we play good. We'll need to limit our mistakes (penalties and TO's). If we can succeed in those 2 areas I think we'll be fine.
We're happy about being 2-1 and looking forward to our next 2 games at home.
I'll try to keep up on this, but we all know how it goes.
