Last Regular Season Game

Well, our game on Saturday was the last one for the season. We played Rancho Santa Margarita and it was a great game! Our boys ran hard, played hard and so did they! We all had so much fun. We also we fortunate enough to come away with the win, but it was a hard fought battle on both sides of the ball. Here are some pics from that game.

"Ok, Braedyn. Stand right here and don't move until I hike the ball, k?"

"Braedyn, all I have to say is you better stop that guy. He sure looks tough."

"Look, Dad! My favorite part of cheer!"

"Hey, Dad! I sure do love these oranges!"

Anaheim Game

And no it wasn't at Disneyland, but just down the road. Last Saturday we had our 2nd to last game against Anaheim. We won this one and it was a great time for all! Still not sure how much Braedyn likes football, but he is getting better with each passing week. This football experience has been just that. I am not sure that "Coach Brad" is cut out for football coaching. But when we are talkin' about the round ball, then it's a whole different ball game. Anyway, our last regular season game is tomorrow against Rancho Santa Margarita. Should be fun! After that we have a "Bowl" game on the 18th.

Here a picture from our last game against Anaheim:

"Hold on, Coach. I gotta get my flag on."

Gold Bears vs. La Harbra

Here are some pics from our last home game under the lights:

"GO BEARS!"

"Why do I always get the big kids on me?"
"Hey buddy! Quit pushin' so hard!"

"Are we really gonna run that play??"

One tough game...

Well, it's a good and sad day for the SV Gold Bears. We lost our game last Saturday to North Long Beach, 26-20. We played a good game, but they just ran all over us. We had a few concerns with the officials, but that wasn't the major problem. We just didn't break down and "tackle" (pull flags) properly. All the kids had long faces that they lost, but then I asked them. "Did you guys have fun?" They all screamed, "YEAH!" And that is the important part. They are 5-7 years old and they should be having fun no matter what the outcome is. Here's some pics of our football star and the rest of the team.

"Why they always gotta gang up on me?"

"I'm comin', Falcetti"

"Hey, Logan! These mouth pieces sure do taste good, don't they?"

Our first test of the season

Well, we made it! We are officially 3 - 0! We had our first test of the season this past Saturday against La Harbra. They scored 2 quick touchdowns on us in the first half. Our defense was having trouble breaking down the run, but we adjusted. We were able to score once just before the end of the first half. We took half time, got fired up by Coach Seth, and went back out there and shut them down! They didn't score the whole second half and we were able to tack on 2 more touchdowns.

This week we travel up to North Long Beach. They have a record of 1 - 2, but didn't lose the last game by much. We anticipate to have the same kind of test with this team as we did with La Habra. However, we have been working on some things that we haven't before. We will see how it goes on Saturday.

GO BEARS!!!

Dancing with your daughter is one of those treasured moments you can't let pass by. Kinda like that commercial of a dad and his daughter doing cheerleading on the sidewalk.

Saddleback Valley Pop Warner Flag Football Team 1st game!

We just got finished playing our first official game and we look good! The cheerleaders cheered, the boys blocked, ran, and scored! It was a great game for everyone! Parents donated money every time they scored a touchdown. I was even able to get some film of Braedyn running the football for the first time. He loved it! Here are some pictures and video:
