Go Wildcats!!!

This is Frank the Tank with Trent. He is Trent's Defensive Line Coast. He unfortunately wasn't at this last Saturday's game in Colfax. Someone in his wife's family had passed away and they had to fly off to California. Frank is a big kid himself, and I was worried that the kids weren't going to do well with him being gone. He usually gets the kids hyped up to play. But I was wrong......

It was soooo cold in Colfax at 8am. I want to say it was in the teens. Trent is #16 and is hunkered under one of the assistant coaches. He has learned that if he stays under one of their wings, he gets more playing time. Smart kid because he's played about three quarters of each game. Trent almost recovered a fumble, but when he reached out to grab it, he ended up pushing it out of bounds. Good play though. The Wildcats played their hearts out. We won 30 to zip. Our fifth game and the boys are undefeated. We have a bye next week and the week after that they play at the Kibbie Dome in Moscow for the championship games. They couldn't be more excited.

After the game, Coach wanted to give them a pep talk and express how proud he was of them.

I love this picture of Trent looking up at Coach, just eating everything he's saying. It was funny to watch Trent when they won the game, he galloped around the field like a jumping jack rabbit with his hand in the air pointing the number 1 sign and of course a smile ear to ear.
Of course Dad made it down to watch the boy play. There wasn't enough blanket or hats on us to keep the cold out.
