Game 1 - Irish Win!

The Irish played a great first game.  Collin mainly played defense because he told Coach he liked to tackle and that he did not want to be Running Back.  We were not too happy to hear that he did not want to do some of the plays they have been doing during practice.  This did make sense why Collin sat out more than we expected him to based on what we had seen during practice.
It was fun to watch Collin play Safety.  We could see him stay back, watch the ball and then make his move.  He did have a great tackle in the 3rd quarter.  Watch him, #37, stay back and see the guy with the ball before he takes off in the back and tackles the other player, flipping him over during the tackle.

Here are some pictures of other plays.  It was a night game so some of them are darker than I would like.  The final score was 32 - 7.  Yeah, the Irish are off to a great start!

After the game, most of the players and parents ended up at a new hamburger place down the street.  It was nice getting to know the 2nd grade parents that we have not met before.  Here's to a great season with the Irish!
