Well, my flag football team is no longer called the Chargers. Another team in our league beat us to the name, so we are now officially known as the Packers.
Well in week two of the season, the Packers suffered another defeat. This one was pretty bad. Or defense played incredibly well, holding their offense to only one score. However their defense provided plenty, intercepting our QB 3 times, and scoring off those turnovers. Our offense is in need of consistency, and just plain getting points. We have yet to score this season. But hey theres a goal for next game!
The kids we played were pretty rough, and mean. Not to mention huge! I swear a few of them looked like they were 14. But they pushed our players around, made fun of them when they screwed up, and even pushed one of my poor players to tears. It was not a good day in Packer history.
But I was proud of my little team. Despite the taunting and ridicule of their opponents, they didnt once stoop to their level. They kept playing their game, and were gracious in defeat, even helping up the other team when they fell over. They demonstrated tremendous sportsmanship, so as far as I'm concerned they were the winners that day.
