We are 3 games into this Spring's flag football season and Brayden already has 2 TDs. Not bad...We have a really solid team this season and each kid is doing well. Melissa accuses my co-coach and I of stacking our team (we brought back 5 kids back from last year's team and recruited 3 more from our basketball team) but I like to think of it as savvy recruitment :-) The team is 3-0 so far and they have outscored the opposing teams 84-12. The attached clip is of our team's first play from scrimmage yesterday and happens to be a touchdown run by Brayden! It's an exact replay of last week's first play of the game, which also was a touchdown run by Brayden (unfortunately our team videographer didn't have the camera ready so we missed that TD).
Brayden is lined up as center and after he snaps the ball, he quickly turns around to receive the handoff from our QB and then he beats the defender to the corner and simply outruns the rest of the defense! Watch closely and you can see the determination and focus on Brayden's face - priceless! Also, if you listen carefully (and if you can hear anything at all over the yelling of a particularly proud Father yelling "GO GO GO") you'll hear the "THUD" sound the last defender makes as he dives in vain for Brayden's flag :-)
Enjoy!

Yay Brayden! I think you are headed for the cougar squad!
Brayden, just don't forget all of your grandparents when you become that rich and famous running back! If it wasn't for that international mix of talent from all of us you wouldn't be that good!! (jk):)
