Antonio - East Wolverines Football update




Antonio's team is now 2-1. However, their 1 loss was a pre-season game so that's no big deal! Last Saturday, they played last years league champions. This team has scrimmaged our team a few times in practice and they are very good. However, our boys showed up to play. Everyone mastered their positions! It was an awesome game. Antonio plays offensive tackle and he was matched up blocking a kid that was at least 6 inches taller than him. He didn't back down - I was really impressed with the way he handled this much bigger kid! He has really improved from the start of the season so much that the coaches are now playing him on both offense and defense. Very proud of Antonio!

This football program has really been impressive. The league is very organized, the coaches have lots of experience and a great attitude, and the facilities are first class. These kids are playing on artificial turf fields - fantastic! I don't mind paying high property taxes when I see the money getting spent on great facilities for the community to use.

This weekend we play the Bennett Park Broncos. Our scouting report indicates this is a tough team. I think our boys are up for the challenge.
