Today, the SHAPE American High School football team (football, not futbol) had their first win in two years! It wasn't district play, they were up against a club team from Brussels that only practices twice a month. But they won! The Brussels team is made up of 14-20 year olds that just like the game, most of them were not Americans and have never visited America before. The older players were not allowed to play today for rules purposes, but it was still a fun game.
When my son and I got to the game halfway through the third quarter, we were ahead 26-2. The final score was 33-22. Amazing. The kids and parents were so excited, but most of the spectators were gone after halftimes since it was cold, damp day. The player even doused the head coach at the end of the game. Something he wasn't expecting, at all.
It's nice to go to the games and see so many people there that don't have kids playing. We go because my husband helps coach, but I think we'd go anyway. The SHAPE community is so small, it's nice to be able to go support the kids and have that increased sense of community. Another way to meet people and be social. We're very lucky to be able to be so involved.
Great Game, Spartans!
