The great thing about our 3rd flag football game is that you could see the improvement in our kids. The more we practice and let them get the repetitions, the better they are. The kids were enthused for the whole game. On offense we moved the ball a little better than the previous week. I believe we only scored once, but had a couple of drives where we gained some decent yards. Our blocking was better, and the decision to play just 2 quarterbacks, and have them rotate at center when they're not the quarterback, seemed to work. I'd like to get more kids behind the center, however I don't think all of the kids can handle it. The great thing is those kids who can't handle it, are getting the ball on a couple of carries. I definitely don't wish the games were any longer, but it would be nice for the kids to get a couple more carries per game, not just one or two each.
On defense we gave up 3 scores, but stopped them on a few drives. The team blew up a few plays in the opponents backfield, which excited them. It's great to see the team celebrating their accomplishments.
Jack had another good game. He ran once, and was stopped, but he's getting the idea about blocking. On defense he mixed it up, and chased the kids, getting their flags. I'm real proud with how he is doing.
The kids are still a challenge to consistently put them in the right position, and do the right thing, but I continue to have fun coaching them, and enjoy seeing their improvements.
