Congratulations Damon

So, it won't surprise anyone that I forgot the camera again on Saturday. I guess it is okay because it was really rainy and wet and would have been hard to get good pictures of Damon. Damon had been doing well during the game and has finally figured out exactly what he needs to do in the "crawler" position to break through the offensive line. This position is the equivalent of a nose tackle (yes, all 60 pounds of Damon plays defensive line). However, in the third quarter of the game something happened to Damon; we are not sure what, maybe a screw finally worked its way loose, breakfast finally kicked in, or someone lit a fire under him, but he was unbelievable. He was knocking kids twice his size over, got a hand on the quarterback as he was handing the ball off, and then held on to the runner one time and pulled him down while taking two other kids with him. He was hilarious, you could see the excitement and energy as it finally clicked. He did such a good job that his defensive coach asked him to be Defensive Captain in the next game!!!!! Way to go Damon!!!!
