This was Matthew's last season of youth football.
His last game was last weekend.
It hasn't been the best season. In, fact, it was hard. The boys lost every game, lost two key players to broken bones early in the season, and had the cards stacked against them every game.
But Matthew and most of these boys dug deep and kept showing up. They developed character and friendships thru this hard season. They laughed together, they cried together, kept playing hard together. Every week.
I could not be more proud of our boy.

Love my #14
He took his job as captain seriously
Good friend and co-captain Wayne. So grateful for the friendship these two share!
These four moms have been THRU it this season... watching your kids lose week after week is hard oun our hearts for sure. We've been together since 2nd grade... and look forward to doing high school ball life with them!

Bruce has coached Matthew since 3rd grade. He is a mentor and an amazing coach, and cares deeply for "his" boys. He made Matthew promise to keep in touch and I have no doubt he will be at games next year to cheer him on. We have been so fortunate to have had such amazing coaches these past 6 years.
Matthew is looking forward to getting stronger in the off season and is also looking forward to high school football!
Go Hawks!
