Tristan's team didn't make it to the playoffs this time around, but they played a game today anyway. They played against the Sierra Vista Lions and beat them yet again. This was by far the most interesting ending game for us ever. Toward the end of the 4th quarter, Cahl and I were sitting in the stands watching the game when we noticed Tristan holding his left arm. Not really unusual since he tends to stand holding his arms a lot, but we still wondered if he was ok. But we didn't really think about it since he was still playing. In fact, he finished that series, sat out for the defense, and then went back in for the last series of offense. So after the game was over and the final huddle broke, he came out crying. Which is really unusual for him- in 4 straight years he has never left a huddle crying. Especially after a winning game. So I asked him what was wrong and he said his arm hurt. He said that one of the players on the other team pushed him down from behind, and then stepped on his arm. He seemed to be in quite a bit of pain, and his wrist looked swollen, so we decided to take him in and have it checked out. Sure enough, it is broken! I am amazed at what a tough cookie he is. To break your arm during a game, and go back in a finish the game. He is awesome! And I have to say, he is SO proud of his first broken arm!
