Matt was ready for another great season of flag football and a great season it was. Doug and Geoff Houlton led the 3rd and 4th grade Jaguars to a winning season. The games were a little more intense this year but the coaches did great and the boys showed great teamwork and character on the field. I was amazed at how many kids on this team contributed and loved all the high-fiving and hooting and hollering for each other. We were mostly 3rd graders but you would have thought these boys were middle schoolers already the way the talked to each other on the field..."watch the blitz", "contain". What a great group of kids and the icing on the cake...what a great group of parents.
This year the kids moved around quite a bit and learned several positions. Matt of course loved playing defense. He was great at pulling flags and caught a few interceptions too! Coach Geoff did a great job of coaching the defense.
On offense Matt got to play a little bit of quarterback...
running back...
But this year his favorite position was receiver and man can this kid catch the ball! He's just like his Daddy!
He took some pretty hard falls throughout the season and was never afraid to sell out for the ball.
When he wasn't in the end zone already he would run well, making cuts and trying to stay inbounds.
Thank you to Dad and Geoff for all your hard work. These boys have learned so much from you both over the years. In fact this year our boys knew the rules better than our officials!!! It's great to see these friends have the opportunity to play together. We even recruited some of Matt's baseball team to come play so Dylan and Logan joined us which was so fun! Can't wait for next year already!!!
