Today was an important game for our Upland Chargers. It was our 5th game of the season and we drove all the way to the Saboba Indian Reservation to play San Jacinto. The boys were ready. We arrived early and waited for the earlier game to end. Our boys lined up for the coin toss. It's Gametime! What an exciting start for Daniel. I check his BG60, so he has to sit out and get his sugar up, eat food for carb coverage, and once his BG was over 100 he was able to enter the game. He plays without his pump being attached so it is always a gamble with either a high or a low.
Proud of this team always starting the games with a prayer. It's all about God, family, school, football. This is family when they are together. They are brothers.
This was Daniel's first touchdown that was reversed due to a penalty. There goes the yellow flag as the umpire gets ready to throw it in the air. It was a great start to the game. Oh well... Stay focused and get it back. Which he did later on in the game.
Daniel looks so grown playing in this age group. I just can't believe how much he's matured. It's such a competitive sport at this age. After his next touchdown, his rushing yards, and his defensive plays... The team was just in beast mode. Making plays. Each player held their own until the end.
That's the end. Upland took the WIN!
Upland is undefeated. The boys work so hard to keep their grades up, heal their injuries, get plenty of rest, watch tapes, work on their plays each week, to get ready for their new opponent because this is what they love to do. I'm so proud of Daniel! He found something he loves and enjoys. He stays focused in school and works hard to be the best.
I couldn't be prouder of you!
