Flag Football Champs

Today I am playing catch-up since I was such a slacker at blogging last week! Last Saturday, Joshua's flag football team won the middleweight division championships! This is the first year for flag football in our area, so they made history as the first ever winners!
Joshua has loved playing, but has had a lot to learn this year. All year long, the coaches have been working with him to catch a pass in the end zone for conversion points. He has been SO close, but never quite seems to hang on.
My appreciation goes out to great coaches who have been so encouraging and never gave up on Joshua. They kept telling him "It's okay, you'll catch it next time!" So in the championship game, they once again sent a pass to Joshua and HE CAUGHT IT!!!! I don't know who was more surprised; Joshua or his coaches or his teammates! What a fun way for him to end the season!
All the players received a medal for participating in the league this year.Joshua received an award for Most Sportmanshiplike Player. It came with a gift certificate for a free haircut at Sportsclips! We may have to let his hair grow out a little so he can use that one!GO WOLFPACK! Here is the team with their championship trophies!
