Practice and Team hang out time

The team has officially been together for 3 weeks now. Each time we practice we become better and better. It is amazing to see the rapid improvement from new players and even older players. Today we had our first inter-team live scrimmage. I was unsure of how this would work out at first. But everyone played absolutely stellar. There were no patterns of continuous turnovers; there were no signs of lazy players; and there were no signs of complete lack of knowledge out of anyone. The game finished with a final score of 15-12. The dark team was down by as much as 7 at one point but fought back hard to finish the game only down by 3. There were a lot of good things to take away from this practice, but we all know we still have A LOT to work on to accomplish our goals.

After practice 8 different players had to go home for various reason but 19 players were able to go out to eat at one of our sponsors, Tower Inn. We all had a great time hanging out with each other. Some of my personal favorite parts were when the waiter brought out Saganaki (twice) and the whole table yelled OPA loud as we could directly after words, when I burned my thumb on the Saganaki(which is flaming cheese) directly after the waiter put it on the table, when we all sung Alex Theiss happy birthday, and when Brian and I were tapping our glasses to be stupid and everyone stopped to listen to what we had to say(sorry for crying wolf Alex Heidtke).

Overall it was a great day, that left the feeling that there would be a lot of good things to look forward to for the rest of the season

Here is the whole gang that went to Tower Inn:
