Oh Yeah!

I believe there are days that are destined for certain activities. You know what I mean…Hot summer days are great for swimming, fishing, or boating. Cold, snowy days are perfect for hot chocolate, building snowmen, or watching a good movie by the fire. Well yesterday was probably the best day for football. Not to hot, or to cold, just perfect! And what a day it was!

The Madison Titans were on fire. These boys came to play, not play around, but to play football! I could not have been prouder of these boys. They have made progress every week. From their first game against Gra-Mar (33-0),where is was 117 degrees on the field, to yesterday , they are a much different team!

Murfreesboro Raiders kicked off, and we ran it back for a touchdown! This was only a fore shadow of what was to come. R.J. was a human blocking machine! Every play he was double and triple teamed. That did not matter to “The Tank”, he bowled over these guys like they were made of air! Once again he played the entire game, both offense and defense. When the game was over, he told me he felt great and was ready to do it again! What a guy!

I think the biggest thing to come out of R.J. playing ball, is his physical well being. When he puts on pants that were to tight last year, and they fall off now, is amazing. My son has gone from 190 lbs. in January, to 162 lbs. as of this morning. I am proud; not only of his weight loss, but that he has adopted my nickname from High School! I think there’s enough room in the family for another Tank! If not, he’ll just have to make room!

Anyway, that is the recap of our game against the Murfreesboro Raiders! Hopefully we can keep it up against UNA next week. Game time is 12:00 on Sat. 9/22. Oh yeah, I almost forgot the score….Madison Titans 27 – Murfreesboro Raiders 0!

Go Titans Go!

Now I tried something different this week. this was the kickoff return I mentioned earlier. I thought I would try to videotape it and post it on the blog! We will see, hope you enjoy!
