This Fall Joel and Grant played their 1st year of flag football. Once again I was their coach and because of that Grant got to play a year earlier. I always thought i was pretty good at coaching kids but i nearly met my match this fall. I would compare coaching 6-7 years football to herding cats. Flag Football is "Flag" in name only. Most of the time the kids miss the flags and just end up tackling the poor kid who has the ball resulting in a pile of kids someone getting a little teary-eyed. That being said we had a great time and the kids really started to get the hang of it as the season went on. No TDs this year for Joel and Grant this year (they each came close a couple times but were tackled before they hit paydirt - with flags still attached). The highlight was playing at halftime of the varsity football season opener under the lights.
