Well it took a while but we finally got our 1st win in Flag Football. Some of you don’t know but we went 0-8 last session. This was our 2nd game of this session and we won! Final score was Vikings 22 Jets 13. Mark Jr. got 2 flags on defense. On our last touchdown it was Mark Jr.’s turn to get the ball. It was a very windy chilly day so there weren’t many pass plays called on our side unless we had to call them. So we decided to go for 2 points where we could run or pass. The play was a delayed run on the center. Its executed as the running back does a fake hand off. After he runs past the QB, the center, Mark Jr., moves back behind the QB and gets a view of where the players are. We try to have most every gather around the same side or area so that would leave a section of the field open. Then after counting to 5, the QB will hand the ball off to Mark Jr. and will run his heart out towards the end zone. He found the hole and started running. He made it! We got the 2nd 2 point conversion of the game for us! It was a great game for the Vikings.
It has become a ritual where after the game I take Mark Jr. to get his favorite breakfast sandwich – a bacon and egg on a Kaiser roll. Its not exactly breakfast time when we finish playing but that is ok, its a daddy-son bonding thing. Since he won, I also got him a GIANT chocolate-chip cookie. Next session I think Johnathan will be old enough to play. I can’t wait!!!
