Yesterday I woke up holding my breathe until 7:30 when Thayne called to tell me that Wyatt made weight for his football game. He was 79 lbs 2 oz so Thayne told him to go in the bathroom and go pee and he came back and weighed 79lbs even. I never thought I would be stressing over my 9 yr old not gaining weight. We made it and I am so glad we did. Yesterdays game turned out to be the nail biter of the season.
I got to the game a few minutes after it started, I was running late. As soon as I got there I did what I always do, I start taking pictures of the game to put up on the team website. After about 5 minutes I decided to sit down for a second and talk with my MIL who I haven't seen in awhile. As I am sitting there talking I look up to see Wyatt intercept a pass and start running down the field to make a touchdown. It all happened so fast that I did not get one picture of the whole thing. It was all very exciting though.
The scored stayed 6-0 the whole game until the last minute (really it was the last minute) of the game and the other team got the ball and ran in down the field to make a touchdown. They too did not make their extra points so the score stayed 6-6. In the last seconds of the game we got the ball back down the field and thought we might make a touchdown when they called the game. Except we were tied. So we went into overtime, or should I say triple overtime. Each team played 4 downs on the 5 yard line until someone scored. It was so intense crazy. We scored once more and got our extra point and the Cardinals scored once but did not get their extra point.
Everyone on the sidelines of both teams ... all standing.
The boys were amazing under pressure. They got some great tackles and interceptions.
(There is a Cardinal with the ball under them somewhere)
(There is a Cardinal with the ball under them somewhere) In the end, We Won.
Usually after we win a game the boys get hi-5's from the coaches and a good pep talk.
This is what they got after this crazy-fun game!
I believe that made the final score 13-12.
Besides worrying about the weight thing, this has been a great season so far.
Our team dad Andy did a write up of the game , his write up is definitely better than mine. Check it out here.... E-A-G-L-E-S.NET.

Good for the Eagles. Sounds like Wyatt is made for football. When does the season end?
Awesome for Wyatt. The only thing better than a TD is an interception. How exciting for him!
