I loved watching my nephew play football last year! It was such a fun fall activity for my whole family to wake up early on a Saturday to watch Sean play and then go to breakfast afterwards. Sean had his first game of the season last Saturday against the Tooele Buffaloes and this year he is one of the team captains! He gets to lead the team out onto the field and he leads the team in their pre-game warmup. He takes this responsibility very seriously! I think Sean is a really good player and I think rugby has done a lot to boost his confidence. Unfortunately, the Bountiful Braves lost this game. The Buffaloes scored four unanswered touchdowns and Sean was quite frustrated; in fact, the coach pulled him out of the game (he plays both offense and defense so this was one of the only times he wasn't on the field) for a few minutes to give him some encouragement.
Late in the fourth quarter, the Braves were able to score a really pretty touchdown so they felt better about the game. The team has a lot of potential and I think they will get better. I am really looking forward to spending my Saturdays watching Sean and the Braves this fall!
Note: Sean is a year older so he plays an hour later than last year! Hooray!
