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.

WOW! Those are some awesome pictures and even better moves by Kaden. That kid's athletic ability always amazes me. More than that, his determination and willingness to apply what he's taught is something that is rare for a kid his age. Let's be honest, it's rare for anyone at any age.
Way to go Kaden! Good thing you have a day of rest for those sore muscles!

(P.S. I can't wait to show Uncle Jeff these pictures.)
Maybe the immigration papers got mixed up on that other kid: 11 & 21. It was sure nice to see that QB on his butt. Kaden is a determined little cuss, one to be proud of.
We really enjoyed reading about Kaden's football game. Scott, you have a great sense of humor. Sounds like lots of fun and Kaden did a great job!!!
So, any other things happening in life? I need some connection to my family! You too, Jake and Lester. We live too far away and we know it. Someday, somehow, we might live closer.
