Jaxon's best friend Mitchell is also playing football in the same league. We desperately tried to get them on the same team but to no avail. Last year they weren't on the same team either so we knew our chances were slim that it would happen this year. Last year they didn't even play each other but not this year! GAME 1: Lineberry (Jaxon's team) VS. Meridian Red (Mitchell's team). We were so excited when we found out and that made the anticipation of the game even more fun! I was talking to Steph (Mitchell's mom) on the phone and Jaxon told me to tell her to tell Mitchell that "he was going down!" Of course he says this with a huge grin on his face. And Mitch replies back "No way dude, our defense is awesome!". They had a great time taunting each other in the days before the game. So game day arrives and wouldn't you know it, both teams are RED, and not two different shades of RED, the same, with the same white letters on it too! But even funnier was when the boys saw each other in their jerseys they realized they were the same number!!! #24. Too funny. Of course they thought that was "awesome". With Jay coaching Steph and I sat on the sidelines and yelled for both teams! Jaxon & Mitchell never came in contact with each other because they never played opposite each other but they had a blast seeing each other out there. Jaxon's team won by two touch downs and he was a gracious winner. He slapped Mitch on the back and told him "great game" and then pointed out all the good pulls that Mitchell had. It tickles me pink to see my boy be such an encourager to other on and off the field. Jaxon had some awesome pulls one which I got a picture of. Check it out below. He had one interception and two passes thrown to him which he caught. He pulled something like 12 flags and he hustled like it was the championship game! Oh, I love football!
Jaxon & Coach (what a hottie Jaxon has for a coach)
Jaxon is the guy closest to the kid with the ball...
And now he's the guy on the ground who just pulled this kids flag! Nice Pull! I was of course Screamin!
