St. Richard's v. St. Andrew's 8-6


Sorry the photos are later than usual, but I've been extremely busy with work the past several days.

Saturday morning is our final game against the Mississippi School for the Deaf, and it promises to be an exciting one. Game time is at 10 a.m. at MSD.

Scrimmage: MSD v. St. Andrew's 6-20


The most physically tough game to date, and our guys were up to the task. Even after these young men would get hurt, they would get right back in the game as soon as they could.

Our first taste of a win. The team is excited, and now know what it feels like to put the ball in the end zone. They're proud of themselves, as they should be. They played as a team, and played to win.

Sorry parents, no photos from the scrimmage. I wanted to be able to fully enjoy a game!

Christ Covenant v. St. Andrew's 22-0


Tough game. From Coach Hardwick: "We continue to show improvement in all phases of the game." I could see that yesterday. The guys played with more discipline, and with their heads more in the game than I've seen so far.

"Even in a tough loss the guys showed flashes of being oh so close to putting it all together," says Hardwick. "As coaches it is our job to make sure they bounce back and continue to work hard and smart." I didn't see many cowed heads yesterday after the game. These young men will continue to work and play hard. Winning is easy. It's the bouncing back after losing that's hard and measure of character and endurance.

I think these guys will bounce back just fine.
