1st Loss

It's Saturday, and it's game day! All are nervous, stomachs are all fluttery, adrenaline rush a flowing, and game on. Seriously, a group of women who range from the ages of 25 - 40 playing football. For years I just loved playing softball but I have found a new and exciting thing that I wished I had taken up many years ago. This flag football stuff is so much fun and talk about competitive. Put two teams of Powder Puff Football ladies on a field and see how much competitiveness you get. I have never seen such a thing in all my life. I'm not so sure that whoever invented the name "Powder Puff" shouldn't change it to something a little more mean sounding. I don't believe there is anything about these two teams of women that is Powdery or Puffy. So. . . . . the game well let's just say that a normal game has been an hour to hour and a half long but yesterday it was over two hours and went into overtime 4 times. Defensively our team was strong but offensively we stunk up the field. Luckily for us the other team offensively had a few receiving errors and when they didn't our defense was pulling flags like no other. Unfortunately, our team started giving up around the second time of trying to score in overtime and by the fourth time we were pretty much done. With that said we lost our first game 6 - 0. Sad, sad day for the Lady Sharks. I just hope that when we face this team in the tournament all of us ladies bring our "A" game. That team we played will be ready to just pound us into the ground right off from the start, so we are going to need to have it together. And some say they play this game just for fun. RIGHT!? I believe that.
