so, so close....

Reece and his biggest fans!

The pain of defeat couldn't be hidden after the game...

Today was the big day - the day Reece, his team and his coaches have worked for since football season started back in July... the State Championship!! This team not only made it to the game of all games, but they made it to this point UNDEFEATED. What an amazing feat.

The team we played today, however, was also undefeated. And what a game it turned out to be - with a final score of 7-6... THEM. It was a terribly hard loss and each of these boys tried to take the blame for it. As a mom, my heart ached for every one of them. But really, everyone played great - it's just that SOMEONE had to lose. Unfortunately it was us.

What a great game, though - and an even more amazing season. In this one season, Reece's team outscored their opponents 251-29, including 9 shut-outs. Wow. So proud of these boys and most especially MY BOY!
