A WHOLE LOT OF HEART

Nick is the Longhorns official "SUPER FAN"! He paints his face different for each of the playoff games and pumps the boys up before the games!




We decorated the fence with signs that varied from Longhorns to GET'ER DONE!




Matthew(#34) Bailey and Carter where the team captains for the Semi-Final game against


The Hurricanes.


Our team lined up behind the team captains as they shook hands with The Hurricanes and flipped the coin.



THE KICK OFF!



Matthew plays Defensive End, Tight End and Full Back.







We were down the entire game up until the final 2 minutes of the game. At half time we were down 14 to 24. We fought back and held them on defense. We were down 22 to 24 with 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter. We drove down the field with just under 2 minutes when coach called a wedge and Matthew punched it in for the touchdown and to take the lead. Our amazing kicker kicked the field goal and the score was 30 to 24. There was 1 minute and 10 secs left for us to hold them.....And that is exactly what we did. Matthew had an amazing tackle in the backfield on # 10 and his counterparts took out # 10 as well on a run down the field. The clock ran out on their final attempt down field and we overcame all odds by exhibiting amazing team work and a whole lot of heart!





The Celebration!




The family after the game.




Our coach yelling, "WHO ARE WE"? and the boys screaming, "CHAMPIONS"!




Matthew and his buddies!
