Scrimmage




Jacob had his first scrimmage this weekend against a team from Hemet. (about 50 miles away and it's toward the desert so it was 98 degrees) It's actually his 3rd but I don't count the 1st two because they were against a team who knew all our plays and then when they'd ask us if we'd like to run the same play again they'd set us up to fail miserably. Isn't that great sportsmanship. (getting off my soapbox) Anyway in the one picture Jacob is the one blocking the other players. He did so good. He also managed to show a little of what Eddie and I affectionately refer to as "Goerlinger Attitude". Apparently some kid on the defensive line was trash talking Jacob and at the end of the play after Jacob laid a nice tackle down on him J looked at him and threw his hands up in the air as if to say so now what do you have to say. A bunch of the parents saw it and pointed it out to us. They all wanted to know what had happened. Of course when asked Jacob told them. The other picture Eddie really likes because it shows how big Jacob looks out there. The scrimmage went very well. According to Jacob we won 36-0. (we did) We had to remind him that this was just a scrimmage and for fun but just like anything else he knew exactly what the score was.
