Jr Gravel Pit

 

We thought Tyler's football season would be done when we scheduled his tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. But the 7th grade Bulldogs made it into the playoffs and then won their first playoff game.  Saturday Tyler (#3) was finally feeling well enough to go to the game to watch and support his team from the sideline. Coach had Tyler go up for the coin toss. I appreciated his efforts to still include Tyler in the game somehow. Tyler loves this team. 

The coin toss...

The handshakes before the game. 

This game was a big one. Pasco Bulldogs vs Chiawana Riverhawks, local rivals. Rivals in high schools here in Pasco as well. When Pasco High and Chiawana play their football game each year it's called the Gravel Pit game. The CBYF league liked the idea of calling Tyler's team's game the Jr. Gravel Pit and allowed them to have the game at the high school Edgar Brown Stadium at night under the lights. So this was a big deal for these boys! Also, this team has struggled getting their W over Chiawana the last two years Tyler has played. Well tonight did not disappoint. Bulldogs came out victorious earning them the chance to play in the Super Bowl next weekend!
