Scrimmage

Devin had his first scrimmage last night against Manheim Central. We out-numbered them 77 to 30-something. Their poor kids had to play all 3 of our sections all night long. All of our groups played pretty well. Our offense still needs more work on the White team (less experienced group). Devin played on the Black team - we think that is the Varsity Section 3 so we are quite confused as to what group Devin will be playing on. He had some great tackles and many many assists. We were very proud of him. Before the game, we told him to have fun and that we wouldn't put any pressure on him. We told him to play his best and we would be proud. I think that relieved him cuz he got out of the car with more enthusiasm and he did play very well. I just want him to enjoy it, it is a game and it should be fun. So no more pressure from us - our only expectation is that he does his best.

Good for you. Pressure and criticism will take all the fun out of it. God knows we get enough pressure when we grow up!
