Intense games this week

Fremont played Northridge this week, and Davis & Owen had almost identical games.  And I aged about 20 years in the process.  Thursday the sophomores were down 0 to 15.  They played terrible and never even got a first down in almost the whole first half.  We'd about all written off the game and wished it to just get over so we could all go home and warm up.  It's been very cold and stormy this week and the rain and wind had started to pick up again.  The boys, however, were fueled by the cold and angry at how the game was going and they began to fight back and scored right before half time, making the score 8 to 15.  We got the ball back beginning the second half and went and scored again!!  The score was 16 to 15 and that is the way it remained for the rest of the game.  The defene played great, stopping some big plays.  The offense was close a couple more times, but just couldn't get it in again.  But that is okay, because that 1 point won them the game!!  Frozen to the bone, we went and got hot chocolate after the game. 

 Still worn out from Thursday's game we headed back to Northridge Friday for another cold football game.  And it started out horrendous.  Oh my gosh, these boys did not show up to play and very quickly fell far behind with a score of 0 to 17 at half.  Northridge was celebrating their win already, but soon became very quiet as Fremont fought back.  And fight back they did.  Soon it was 7 to 17, then 14 to 17 in the 4th quarter.  The boys were so fired up and scored again quickly making it 21 to 17 with about 5 minute left in the game.  Time for some major defense, but they were exhausted and Northridge got down to the 2 yard line and Fremont used their last bit of umph and somehow kept them from scoring and we got the ball back to run out the clock.  We were all so excited, and shocked.  I am not made for games like this and 2 back to back about killed my nerves. 

 As if football was crazy enough, Gator had a soccer game today.  We were up against a tough team, we beat them last time, and they were mad and scored quick.  Our girls struggled today, everyone has a bad game once in awhile, but when the whole team is off on the same day it's no good, plus our keeper couldn't make it to this game.  The score was 2 to 2 at half and remained there the rest of the game.  I am so proud of my little defender, she helped her teammate out that was filling in for keeper by playing awesome defense keeping the score tied.  Our offense had so many shots on goal, just none of them quite went in.  But we are happy with the tie, the girls were exhausted. 

What a great game weekend!!
