The Last of the Cowboys

Sorry if you clicked in for Wade Phillips...Nope, not those Cowboys.  Sunday was Jackson's last regular season game with the flag football Cowboys.  The flag teams do get to play one last "game" at the older boys' Super Bowl next weekend.  But just try to imagine 4 simultaneous flag football games going crosswise on the football field during half-time.  The main highlight will be the trophy, not the mini-game.

For his last regular game, Jackson was excited to get to play on one our high school's practice fields.  We pulled up and he said, "Wow, they have stands and everything!"  Mind you, we usually play on a junior high field and have to lug our chairs for seating.  He was even more excited to see that the yard lines were actually chalked on the field.  Awww, the simple things that make a 6-year old boy giddy!
  

View from the stands at kick-off.  Yep, that's burnt orange you see.  Kind of surreal for the Cowboys to playing the Longhorns. 

The Longhorns beat us earlier in the season.  To rub salt in the wound, it was the day after Tech lost to Texas.  But this time, the good guys won and beat the until then undefeated Longhorns!

Danny and Kendall pulling a little switch-a-roo with their headgear!  Danny looks pretty good in the bow, don't you think?  I think Kendall might have a certain somebody wrapped around her little finger!

Jackson was UBER-excited to receive a game bottle at the end of the game.  Coach said, (bear with me, I'm a proud momma) "This bottle goes to a someone that has been a SOLID player ALL season long - Jackson get up here!" 



Complete with his name, jersey number and a Cowboys emblem - don't forget the red Gatorade grins :)

Sister had to get in on the action!  Not sure who they were looking at...

By the way, his #9 is not for Tony Romo.  It's for Ted Williams, of course! 

Next year, we're off to tackle.  Tackle football - still gauging my feelings on that one, I'll get back to you!  Basketball practices have already begun, be on the look out for Bobcats basketball posts in the near future. 

Verse of the day - "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." Romans 12:12
