SAGINAW STEELERS WIN The TITLE

Is there anything more exciting than watching your favorite college player streak down the sideline for a touchdown at "The Big House", "The Swamp", or "The Horse Shoe"? Yes, watching your 3 year-old do it at the YMCA little league field! Kyler played his first season of football this year with the 3-5 year-old STEELERS, and quickly became a fan favorite. The local media was a frenzy with Kyler player cards, team photos, and heroic tales of last-second comebacks. Somehow during all of the excitement we neglected to video all of his accomplishments. We did get a few pictures, but that is all. The season is now over and the STEELERS finished with a perfect record 6-0 (all other teams had the same record as well. Guess that is why the parents keep score).

THE RUNDOWN: They played for 6 weeks with practices and games on Saturday mornings. Kyler played defensive end (like BIG uncle Trent), and tailback 2 plays per game. Each player on the team had an opportunity to be tailback, the rest of the time they were on the line as a blocker.
THE RULES: Coach Booker did a fantastic job teaching Kyler what he needed to do at the various positions.
Rule #1: If you have the ball run faster than everyone else.
Rule #2: If you have the ball, run faster than everyone else in the right direction.
Rule #3: If you don't have the ball, pull the guys flag that does.
Rule #4: If you don't have the ball, and someone else on your team does, DON'T pull their flag.

THE SCORE: Kyler scored a touchdown in 4 of 6 games, and became very proficient at pulling the opponents flag. When he wasn't running the ball himself, he did a great job sealing the end, so his teammates could make touchdowns too. Way to go ......Ky-BEAR. (Yellow shirt, Black du-rag, gray pants)
