Last night was the Championship game for Trevor's Football Team against Virgin Valley. We played them last year and lost by 1 point and 2 inches, and that lose was hard for Trevor. He wanted to win so bad and he played so hard but came up short. So this year was a chance for them to get their win.
Before the game the coach thought that it would be a good idea to have his team come over to his house at 12:30 and watch a movie and have lunch and relax for the game. It was so cute to see all of their stuff at his front door. The boys have truly bonded as a team and have loved being together.
The game started at 5:00pm and right before the game the coach from the Virgin Valley Team came to me and said, "Tonya, my boys have something for you. Last year you did something for them that they have always remembered and wanted to give you this." He pulled out a beautiful carnation lei and put it around my neck. Oh my goodness, this totally took me by surprise and what a thoughtful gesture. Well I of course wore the lei ALLL night and loved smelling the flowers around my neck.
The game was a hard fought game, Trevor didnt' play but 12 plays in the whole game because of his arm and he only played Defense. But when he was in he did make sure that he made a difference. I felt sorry for the players that got hit by Trevor because he was playing with alot of frustration (about not being able to play with his arm) and when he did get in he took it out on whoever he hit. The final score was 29-6. It was so good to see those boys play with everything they had to get to the trophy.
Trevor had some great coaches. He loved each and everyone of them. Each one of them taught Trevor so much about LIFE and about Football. We feel so blessed to be a part of such a great team, all the way around - coaches, parents, players and SUPPORT!!!
