Football at the Ralphs' home Syracuse Black 1-0

Well it's that time of year again that we put on the pads and get out there and hit something. Jaden has his first football game this Saturday against Brigham City Purple in BC. The family is excited to watch the team play this year. The team did well last year and Jaden played better than we ever thought he would as it was his first year. We have a good bunch of kids to coach this year and most of them seem willing to learn and are not afraid to get out and get after it.
We will see what this Saturday holds for our first game and see if the boys are ready. More later.............
Well the first football game of the season ended in a win against a scrappy Brigham City Purple team. It was played at Watkins park in B.C. and the team played well for their first game. No turnovers and we executed most of the offensive plays without much problem. It was exciting to see the boys come together for their first game of the season.
Jaden played exceptionally well as he had 3 touchdowns in the 20-6 win. BC's offense could never get going as our defense shut down most of everything that they did. Most of the boys were able to overcome their pregame jitters to go out and get things done. It was an important win for this team as we are looking to build upon the success of last year.
I will continue to update each weeks game on this blog and hopefully we will have a successful year as a team. It has been exciting to be a part of the team as a coach this year and I hope I can continue to help these boys progress in their desire to improve in their football skills and teamwork.
