Okay, I'm going to be the obnoxious proud dad, but tough you-know-what.
Today, the Pitman Jaguars, the 6-7 year old football team, won 26-0 and clinched a playoff spot for the first time in 5 years. Last year, when my son was 6, they won one game. This year, we've already won 4 with 1 to go. These kids go out there every week and play their little hearts out, and it's exciting to see them start reaping the fruits of their labor. Every game they get better and better. It's a testament to the volunteer coaches and every one of these kids, who are smaller than a lot of other teams around. I'm really proud.
Oh, and by the way, my son had a sack, a touchdown (his first ever in a regular season game), and ran for an extra point today!
