Kaden - about 5' tall, 94 lbs
Gigantor - 6' 3", 207 lbs, and a beard.
Look at the eyes of the beast. How intimidating it must have been for Kaden. Needless to say, Kaden flew a lot during the game. During a timeout, I talked to Kaden and he was pretty frustrated that he couldn't do anything with this kid. I told him that he should hit low and keep getting up. He did that and had some success slowing the monster down.
This is my favorite picture. Kaden finally moved this guy by hitting him right in the numbers and driving forward. He stood the kid up and took him out of the play.
Luckily, speed is key on defense and Andre the Giant was not fast. While playing defensive end, Kaden got around big beefy on this play. The guy on the ground is the quarterback who Kaden had just knocked down to break up a pass play. Kaden hit him as he released the ball and it fell short.
We were proud of Kaden for bouncing up like a rubber ball every time he got knocked down. He made the best of it and came out smiling. He was team captain for this game because of his hustle during practice all week. I'm sure he'll be sore tomorrow, but he loves to play.
