Today was the first game of the Peewee season, so both Jasen and Tristan played in that game this morning. They both played really well, even though their team lost 21-0. Jasen had some really good tackles during the kick returns, and Tristan really hustled out there today. He got several great blocks and a several key tackles. He was really pumped up for this game, because last week at practice his coaches called him out as the best offensive player of the last game. Every week, the coaches award the players $20. $5 goes to the first player to make a turnover- be it a fumble recovery, interception, or stripped ball. $5 goes to the most impressive touchdown. $5 goes to the best offensive player and the last $5 goes to the best defensive player. During the last game, Tristan played mostly on the line, so for his coaches to notice him and call out an offensive lineman as the best offensive player was really cool. Tristan also told me that his coaches told all the other peewee players to listen to Tristan during the games. Since he is the most senior player on the team, and he knows what he is doing, so he's one of the team leaders. He definitely helps the littler kids out, telling them where to go and what to do. It's kind of neat for him, since this is his last peewee season.
