Grid Iron Highlight Video

 7th Grade Football Highlight Video

I was able to trick Jeff into shooting film for us this year by taking him to Popeye's for lunch after each game. It was a good deal for us as we got a lot of great footage of at least the second half of the year. After the season I took the footage and put together this highlight video. It took a lot of hours but was pretty fun to look back on a lot of the great plays we had this year. 

Look out for Cash #7, he is all over this highlight video. Grandon Productions all the way through.

Sophomore Football Season

Sophomore football season is in the books for Beau. He has worked really hard at his craft over the last year and has put on some muscle. He got some time at QB and Outside LB - even getting some varsity time there.

Skyline had a really good team this year and advanced to the State Semi-finals before running into the eventual State Champion. 

We're also getting a new football stadium set to open just before next season, so this picture was taken at our last home game at the stadium. Fortunately the new stadium will have a similar view because it is a beautiful spot to watch a game.  

Cash's Football Season

Cash had an amazing football season. Even with all the uncertainty around the virus we were able to play a full season and had no one on the team get sick and had no cancellations from other teams. It was so nice to have some normality during these crazy times.

I coached the offense this year and it was much improved from my last time a couple of years ago. By the end of the year I felt like the kids were really doing a great job and we could score on anybody. 

Cash played great. He was a monster at Outside Linebacker and one of our best runners/ball catchers at Wingback. We had a really great team and I think all the kids had a great time. I'm already excited for next year.

Viv Turns 3

Vivian turned three this week and it's pretty obvious what kind of stuff she's into at the moment. It's all Elsa, Paw Patrol, and Rapunzel.

Brighton Rugby

 

Beau's cousin is a big rugby player and he convinced him that the best football off-season would be playing rugby with him. YouTube taught us the basics and off he went. Unfortunately, his full season was a handful of practices and this one game as COVID put an end to it.

The one game was pretty fun though. Beau had a couple of big runs, and if he would have known that you have to put the ball down in the end zone to score, he would have had a couple of those.  Minor details I guess. He enjoyed it a lot and it was fun for him to be able to play for a few weeks with his cousin.

New Game Room

 

Saturdays are going to be pretty awesome around our house now. How can you choose just one football game to watch?

We've been working over the winter to get a new game room finished up, and I got the TV's mounted/installed just in time for the tail end of the season. We've now just gotten the carpet installed so we were able to finish the rest of the room.

We re-purposed some IKEA cabinets as the console and game holders and Marta made the cushions on top to serve as a foot rest. It's a pretty amazing set up that is already getting some serious use.
