The Bulldogs Visit The Rangers

For some strange reason, maybe it has something to do with the upcoming holiday, this week's games were all moved up a day. So, even though it was Wednesday, we had us some Thursday night Freshman football.

The Waller Bulldogs traveled to Rosenberg (70+ miles away) to meet the Terry Rangers. We were a little late arriving at the game...missing the first three minutes. (It always takes me twice as long as it should to get to Rosenberg. There seems to always be something holding up the traffic, no matter which route I take!) The score was 8 - 0, Bulldogs when Jim and I arrived.

Will didn't have quite the stats that he wanted or that he earned last week. Even though he got real close to the quaterback a few times (as seen here)
...most often, he was met by this wall of Ranger defenders. (Three on one, how is that fair?)
He had several blocks and assists, but no sacks or tackles.

I took this picture at half time. It made me smile. Where else would you see a pair of cowboy boots sitting on the track but in Texas?

Will didn't play as much offense this week as last, but here is a shot of him playing in the second half.

(One of his many Coach's Conferences during the game)

The Bulldogs were able to hold them scoreless...

right up until the last play of the game. The horn sounded, but the Ranger was already at the 15 yard line and showed no sign of letting up. Thankfully, the Bulldogs were able to prevent the run for extra points.

Final Score:

Rangers 6

Bulldogs 8

Bulldog White team is now 1-1 for the season.

More Football Pictures

Remember when I told you yesterday that one of our newest customers also has a boy that plays on Will's team? Well, I also found out that he has a website where he posts pictures of the games as well. So, if you would like to see more pictures from last week's game go to www.wallerbulldogsports.com click on the football tab and choose 2009 8/27 9B to see even more pictures. On the second page you will find seven pictures of Will's second sack of the game from a sideline position. Pretty cool!

Just Another Day

I am sitting here in Jim's chair watching Armageddon for like the three hundredth time. What is it about this movie that sucks me in EVERY TIME? This one, Forrest Gump, Mummy (1 or 2), Apollo 13, Princess Bride, Sweet Home Alabama...they get me over and over again.

Jim is out dove hunting this evening. It is opening day here in our area. He and our partner were invited to go out to one of our new customer's places...and found out his son plays football with Will.

This afternoon he and I drove across Houston to visit a friend whose wife had a little boy yesterday. Then we had to rush back across town to pick up our 'little boy' from football practice. I told them to enjoy the years that lie ahead...because it seems like just last week that Will was born and we were bringing him home from the hospital.

Tonight we will have a quiet time here at home because tomorrow night we have another ball game for Will. I don't know why they moved it from Thursday...maybe it has something to do with the Labor Day holiday. The only bad thing is that it will be a good hour and a half away. :-( The good thing is that I may actually be able to talk Jim into eating out after the game!

What did you do today?
