Greatwood Packers Football - Brett Game 4

Brett's team won their first game! Go Packers! We were really excited to finally come away with a win after a couple of hard fought battles only to come-up short. The Greatwood Packers Sophomore Team beat the Lamar Hornets 7-0. The Packers did a great job this game just moving the ball. There were not the break-away plays but they did an excellent job steadily moving the ball down the field and they were able to get the ball in the end zone for a touchdown. It was exciting!

This is the pre-game hype as the Packers come running out on the field after bursting through a banner.

Some action on offense. As I look at the picture I think they fumbled the ball on this play. The good news is Brett is making a great block.

Some more hard charging action with Brett doing some hard hitting.

Here we have the Hornet back on their heels. The Packers line did a good job of consistently pushing them back and picking-up yards consistently. Consistently doing the job is not as flashy as the big plays, but that is good football.

Here some more action with Brett making his block.

Brett making a block. It is a good thing we got the telephoto zoom lens for the camera or we would not be able to get these shots. I still have to crop quite a bit to zoom-up. I thought that lens would be all we would ever need, but even now we could use more telephoto for the football games.

Thought for the Day:

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. - Calvin Coolidge
