JV Gold vs. Hartland

Nate's team played Hartland today and lost 0-15. The team played really well, but got off to a slow start in the first few minutes when Hartland had a couple of big plays and scored quickly. The team played well after the first five minutes but had a tight time scoring due to a few turn-overs. At least they played better than University of Michigan (but then again, so did the 3rd and 4th graders who played before Nate's team). (This picture resulted in an incomplete catch, and the pass-interference on Nate wasn't called).


Nate had strained his achilles tendon in a scrimmage on Thursday and I didn't think he was going to better by today. After a ton of ice and steady ibuprofen for a couple of days, I was pretty impressed that he was ready to play today. He's got two guys out right now with busted ankles, so keeping everyone healthy is the challenge right now.Nate keeps getting more and more comfortable out there and continues to love it. He's still playing mostly at cornerback but got a chance to play on offense today as well for the first time, playing tight-end.
