Proud football dad by Bermuda

Very cool, Bermuda. Enjoy it. Thanks for sharing. I am totally serious.
 
Great story for your boy! Good luck in the Champeenship!
 
Thanks for all the kind and encouraging words, all!

I've shared them with Deuce and his team and it was positively received.

Their first game is at 3:30pm today against a team from Detroit.
 
That's awesome Berm. A proud father, you are!
 
My buddy's team lost this morning 22-14 to a team from florida. Had an 18-14 lead with a minute to go.

Good luck to you and your son Bermuda kick ***.
 
As most of you know, I moved back to the United States in 2013. That being said, my son had never played contact football and thought it would be relatively easy, because he could play the game on his Playstation...

So he tried out for the junior high school team that first summer. Long story short - he didn't make the team and he found out how hard the game really is. So he took the rest of the year off after being cut.

This year he tried out for the 12u Pop Warner team. "U" stands for unlimited weight. The team's name is the Oakleaf Black Knights. I won't get into all the details, but his team is the biggest all around team of 11 - 13 year old boys I have ever seen.

Check out these stats:

12-0

PPG - 47
PA - 0
Total points scored - 566

Deuce plays DB and has made two interceptions in the last two games.

So why the thread? Next week the Oakleaf Black Knights will be playing in the National Championship tournament in Tampa, FL.

Spike, I'm coming down for Saturday and Sunday and I'll probably come back down later in the week.

Join me in congratulating these young men in their accomplishments thus far - City champions and regional champs of 2014.

Congrats Berm! i'm out of Karma for you!
 
Okay, okay!!! Alright, alright!!! The boys have made it to the championship game!!! They did surrender 4 touchdowns over 3 games (cannot recall the scores right now); but, hey, they made it to the big game!

I'm headed down to Tampa in the morning. Pictures and updates tomorrow!

Congratulations to the young men (at that size what else could you call 'em?).
