Kekoa's Bobcats Take the Field

Our youngest son Kekoa isn't the biggest boy around.

Okay, let's just admit the obvious. He's probably the shortest, skinniest 5th grader in his class.

But that boy has spunk, and he wants to play football. So darn it, he's going to play football!

Good for you, Kekoa!

This was his first game of his first season, and he was pretty excited. He was picked as one of the co-captains for the Bobcats this week so out he went to mid-field for the coin toss.

Kekoa is number 22 below...



His 6th grade older brother Bret Jr. is a bruiser. He normally lines up at nose tackle in the heart of the defensive line.

Kekoa is a defensive back. He normally plays corner or safety. Here he is below (circled in red), lining up at safety...



Look at my boy run to the ball!



He had a lot of fun today...



My favorite part was when they called up a blitz and away he want, charging into the heart of the offensive line...



But before he got there, one of the Bobcat's lineman stripped the ball and it flew straight up in the air...



Kekoa's team recovered the fumble!

Don't ya just love football!? It's going to be a fun season!
