Little Browns

The boys football team won again today. 19-8 was the final with Dylan scoring two touchdowns and Sam completing a pass for an extra point. I get pretty excited about their sports accomplishments but keep it under control. Two things I'm noticing this fall is that Dylan is running with conviction and vision and Sam is turning into a leader. Dylan is always the first one to doubt himself but the last two games he has had an incredible sense of self confidence that has shown up in long runs and amazing cut backs out of traffic. He is seeing three steps in front of himself.

Sam is the field Marshall on that field and every kid is looking to him for leadership on offense and defense. He's big and athletic but is also looking out for the rest of the team and the team wants him around the ball if the chips are down. He and Dylan are both right there when a team mate makes a good play and leading the cheer when the team succeeds.

The Browns are 2-0 and their best runner (Max) will be back in uniform and with the team the rest of the season. It's a tough league this year but I like their chances.
