Whitney decorated lunch sacks before we filled them with movie-theater popcorn and m&m's.
The energy before the game was palpable and it was so fun to be out there on a nice, warm night under the lights with "Eye of the Tiger" playing over the speakers.
Landon is number 0.
The boys on the other team were almost twice as big as our guys, so we ended up being unevenly matched, but our boys played great.
I was so touched by the great cheering section we ended up with! From back to front--Lori, Randy, Austin, my mom, Lucas, Whitney, Me, Robyn, Ashley, Michelle, Brother Johnston, Brother Pyper and Olivia!! It was such an amazing show of support and love that I felt weepy about it.
I was especially touched that these two guys from church game, they had been at the church for meetings and to do visits but drove the 15 minutes to come to almost half of the game. These two guys have been Landon's leaders/teachers over the years so this meant a lot.
Despite playing well, the final score was 6-44 (ouch), but we heard later that their coach said we were the best team they have played so far. I think their size at this age level is carrying them more than their skills because it took like 4-5 of our guys to bring down theirs.
