A truly SUPER Sunday

February 2, 2009

Here is why I love sports…(and it’s not because the Super Bowl was a great game either).  Yesterday after church we went over to Stow Grove park for a goodbye party for Nathan K.  Nathan is heading to Germany and we’ll miss him.  Anyway, after some food it was suggested that we play some touch football.  We had a great game!

Here are my MVP’s

Defensive MVP (Dick Butkus award)…Becky Hunter

Prolific Passer …Sam Hahka

Barry Sanders award for toughest little guy to tackle…Ben Hoffmann

The Jerry Rice clutch hands award…Katie Hahka and Elijah Walton

Longest run of the day (mostly in her own backfield, but still great)…Anna Hoffmann

Here’s how it came down to the wire.  The game is tied 35-35.  We agree that the next score wins the game.  The game really goes up a notch in competitiveness.  We turn it over on downs.  They turn it over on downs.  We get the ball back and have 4th down with half the field to go.  Elijah sneaks behind big Pete Hoffmann and catches the game winning TD.  YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN HIS FACE.  This young man of 8 years old could not suppress that grin for anything.  Clearly the highlight of the day.  You should have seen it.
