Regents Football 2011

This football season was quite a whirlwind! The team started out small but managed a 3-0 start to the season. The next 4 games were filled with injuries and we didn't pull out a single win. This season's theme "War" suddenly seemed fitting. The younger guys had to really step up and some new boys even had to join the team to have enough guys to play. After lots of hard work, prayers and quick rehab we had our team back and made it to the State Championship!! It was not their best game and ended in a loss but the coaches were just SO proud of the boys for getting there.

Charlotte Grace LOVED football season this year. She started asking for football by about Wednesday night each week. She had no problem making it to the bitter end of each game, and then was delirious enough to run and chase her daddy on the field afterwards. She loved to yell "Go boys! Go Regents! Fight Knights! Go Daddy!"... all season long! We are already looking forward to next year!

When I look back at these pictures these are my thoughts... 1. my baby changed a whole lot in one football season (tear) 2.she was sooooo happy in all of these pictures 3.she loves her baby doll and baby Dean 4.baby doll never has clothes on 5.I am so thankful for my other "single mommy"/coaches wives friends and 6.I am so thankful that Regents football is a part of our lives!

Sweet girl ready for game one! Her Regents football dress from Auntie Lauren worked as a shirt this year! I was so happy to get 2 years out of it!

A Regents football Thanksgiving tradition... all of the families come to watch practice on Thanksgiving morning. Afterwards everyone shares hot chocolate and gives each boy thanks for who they are. So, so sweet. Here are the players saying hello to Charlotte who suddenly became very shy :)

Kaufman and Lawson even made it!
