The march continues...

Your Flag Football Cardinals improved to 2-0 last night with a 20-zip shutout. Due to a late start because of "flag issues", we only had 4 possessions in the game -- and we scored on 3 of them. (For the season, we have scored on 8 of 9 possessions.) The Playmaker had three catches. One was good for an extra point and another one was a touchdown reception. The TD was a nice 10 yard pass and then he ran another 15 yards into the end zone. Believe it or not, the play came on an audible. The original route was and out-and-up. But upon seeing the center of the field was wide open, The Head Ball Coach audibled to a simple fly pattern down the middle of the seam. The beauty of coaching 7 year olds is how the audible worked. Here's how it went down: The kids take turns hiking the ball to the coach. It was The Playmaker's turn to hike it to us. As we readied for the snap we whispered, "Can you hear us?" When The Playmaker whispered back, "Yes", we told him to run a fly pattern. He snapped the ball, blew by his man and then made a nifty over the shoulder catch and chugged it into to the house.

Good stuff.
