This year we let Josh move from flag football to tackle football. A lot of his friends and teammates were also making the transition so we thought it would be a good time to go. So we joined the team Warriors Steel.
The season starts much earlier (in June) with conditioning and summer practice.
Josh ended up playing left cornerback the entire season. He really enjoyed it. It's a good position for him because he is good at reading the plays. And it's good for me because he is the one doing the tackling, not getting tackled.
The season started in August with games every Saturday. Their team started off slow (0-3) and then never looked back.
They ended the season 8-3 and earned a spot in the playoffs. They were the 3rd seed (only 4 teams made the playoffs). Their first game was again the 2nd seed. They had played them for their first game of the season and that game went into overtime so we knew this was going to be a hard fought game. It lived up to expectations with Warriors Steel winning 12-8.
Then it was onto the Super Bowl. The league likes to make a big deal of this game. They play the National Anthem before the game and announce all the players. It's pretty fun for the kids.
The Warriors had played this team tough the first time they met so we figured it would be another good one. We were up 13-12 going into the fourth quarter but ended up short with a few late touchdowns by the other team and ended up losing 13-26. It was a great game and I think the kids all had fun.
They still got their second place trophies, which was fun.

It was a great season, Josh. We can't wait to see what you can do in the future.
