Final 2 Games

Football ended for Cody this week.  Tuesday night they played the purple team.  We got off to a good start so the coaches let the kids call the plays for the 2nd half of the game and they did great!  We won 26-8.  Cody led the team on defense with 7 tackles.  He carried the ball 9 times for 48 yards and 2 TDs and did 1 kickoff for 21 yards.

Last night, we played light green and our coaches decided to let the kids run the game again.  Light green is definitely the most improved team and it was a close game.  At halftime, we were tied 6-6.  Late in the 2nd half, we had a good drive and scored to win 14-6.  Cody was 2nd in defense with 8 tackles, 1 sack, and 1 fumble recovery.  At runningback, Cody had 6 carries for 38 yards and 2 TDs.  He kicked off once for 24 yards and returned 1 kick for 13 yards.  It was great to see him finish strong.  Overall on the season, we finished with 1 loss and 1 tie in our "conference" (I believe that would put us in 1st place) and had 1 loss on the road.  Next year, Cody will play middle school football.  Ack!
