Mini Bowl

 Our cute football boys made it to the super bowl of little league football!  It's the Mini Bowl!

 We had a pep rally, made signs, everyone wore orange...

 After a score!

 So, we played one of the other Kaysville teams. They were also undefeated.  A lot of the kids go to school with Brandon.  One, in particular, is in his class and talks a lot of smack.  We were tied most of the game. It looked like it was going into overtime, when on the last play of the last 30 seconds of the game, this cocky kid from the other team ran it for a touchdown.  Here's where it got ugly.  A flag was thrown by the official.  Then, as the other team coaches yelled at the official, he picked up his flag and waved it off.  Well, one of our coaches went ballistic. It was really bad and the WFFL board members ran out and the cops were called...

 Cute grandparents in the cheering section!

A bad ending to a great season! It was probably unfair and the flag being waved off was unfair, but I wasn't happy with our play calling. One of the coach's had a star running back on our team. They ran about every play to him. Well, it didn't take long for the other team to figure that out, so they stopped us every time!  So, that bugged me.

 Here's Mike after we lost.  It was a hard loss........but really, we had a great year with great boys and families.  The boys got over the loss quickly. It was the parents who struggled.

We had a team party after we got home from Florida. I did a end of year video for it.  Everyone said it was awesome.  I spent a lot of time in FL working on the video and then on the flight home Mike was burning CD's since we had to go to the party about an hour after we got home!  The coach who lost it wrote each boy a letter.  He was so embarrassed and upset that he acted that way in front of the boys. He wrote the parents an email.  He really is a great guy, he just let his temper get the best of him.  He got banned from coaching in the WFFL  and banned as a coach in Kaysville for 5 years.  The other coach (star kid's dad) got banned from coaching in Kaysville for 5 years.  He coached two of his boy's teams.  Don't feel too badly for them though. They are talking about joining another league that works out of Bountiful.  There was video filmed by the other team about the confrontation that got the one coach banned for life with WFFL, but the city wouldn't release it. It was rumored to clearly show it wasn't all the one coach...that the board member was being aggressive, too.  Nice cover up on the city and the league.. ANYWAY, Brandon will still play for Kaysville next year. We'll see what happens!  All these boys would eventually play for Davis....so even though we hate the cocky kid...he'll be a team mate someday.....We are proud of our Brandon!  It was a fun year!
