Steelhawks Win First Game in History...

...and I was a part of it. I have said since I have gotten here that I want to do big things with this team while establishing a winning tradition in the community. We have taken that first step. This game was full of drama and suspense until the very end. Fellow Powerhouse Placement athlete caught the game winning touchdown with 1.2 seconds to spare on the clock. I have only been in one other game with more storybook like action.

My experience in the game was amazing. I played a new position. A position I have avoided since I was a child: Center. Through all my years in football I have teeter-tottered around the position and then I realized that since it was a valuable position (only a handful of few individuals can handle the demands) it would be in my best interest to learn how to play it. That thought process 4 or 5 months back helped in a major way. It felt natural and the most frightening part of the position, the snap, I did OK on. The feedback has been positive and so far, I have been my worst critic. I'm hoping to get another shot at it so I can improve on the mistakes that I have spotted.



I also played defense which is always fun. I should have done much better here. We have a bye week this weekend and then we face Richmond again. This time, we will be in our house. A lot of my teammates will be going home to get some much needed family time. And then, Monday, we are all back in the "lab". United We Prey!



That's all for now. I'll check y'all later
