Football, Soccer Season winding down

The football and soccer season is winding down .... Ashleigh has one more regular season game to cheer for next Saturday and then the Mighty Mite tourney starts.... she'll be cheering quite a bit during the week or so tourney, as long as we have a MM team in the play offs, she'll be cheering....
Allie has a few more soccer games to play... Troy was at Allie's Soccer game while I was watching Ash cheer.... Troy said that Allie helped make a goal (she and a team mate kicked the ball at the same time) She is doing really well for Allie, cause she is usually pretty lazy but soccer has changed a little in that respect ... she can actually run!
Zach's team is now 7 -2 with one more game to go... they played in a game last night and won 7 - 6 against a team from Bixby. O Black scored on their first drive of the game and Bixby scored on their last possesion of the game ... instead of running it in for the extra point (which is just 1 point in youth football) they went for the field goal (which is 2 pts in youth football) they only missed it by a few inches ... whew ... and there was less than a minute to go when we got the ball. It was one of those games that keeps you on the edge of your seats ... it was an important game for both teams because it decided who would be in 3rd place in the division. INFC Tourney takes the top 3 from each division to play in the play offs. Hats off to Bixby 5th Grade Blue, they are a really good team.
