West Bend East

Another loss today, but we certainly gave everybody a show.

We were down 16-0 with only a few minutes to go in the fourth quarter (West Bend East successfully kicked two extra points, which are worth two points instead of one at the youth level). Our offense started to get something going, and we were able to drive down the field and punch it through for a touchdown to cut it to 16-6.

Then, after West Bend East recovered the kickoff, we were able to use our timeouts to force East to run several more plays. We forced a fumble and ran the fumble back all the way for yet another touchdown. We threw the extra point in to make it 16-13.

THEN, we successfully recovered the onside kick and had a chance to win the game with about a minute or two to go. Unfortunately we finally ran out of magic.

I told the kids after the game to think of the game as 2 touchdowns scored for each team, and to carry the momentum from the end of this game into next week. Hopefully that's just what we do.

See you Monday.
