First game...nice to be back

[Rich]

Very, very humid yesterday afternoon. I gave at least 2 scheduled water breaks per quarter (3 in the fourth quarter) and we only had to have one kid looked at cause he "just didn't look right" and he was cleared to return to the game.

The humidity is always a problem at the beginning of the season, but never more than when 2 very small schools play each other. The smaller of the two schools had at least 8 players playing both ways most of the game.

Anyhow, the game ended up 8-7. Visiting team put up their seven in the first quarter on a fumble return for a touchdown and an extra point that just cleared the uprights. Home team answered early in the fourth quarter on a run on a sustained drive. We took a water break after the TD (that's when the one player looked a little less than OK and I had the EMT check him out while we all took water) and the team came back with a pass over the middle that was caught after 2 deflections.

Sloppy, sloppy game. Lots of turnovers (at least 6-7) and one punt return for a TD called back on an IBB. But it was nice to get out there again.
