My Little League Football Team Victory

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I'm sure no one cares, but honestly this is the most pumped and excited I've ever been during any type of game. OK, so I coach football in little league, the kids are middle school age. The game last night was a team we know we should beat, coincidentally named the Cowboys. Not to make this story exceptionally long, I'll abbreviate the first three quarters. Basically, we started the game with a three and out on defense and scoring on our first touch on offense, thinking things were going to turn into a rout.

6-0 us after a failed two-point conversion.

Ensuing kickoff the other team takes back for the touchdown. Gets the conversion 8-6.

The game goes back and forth, back and forth until they scored, game is tied at 22-22. Some of the kids I coach don't even know the rules of football and we have to put the fat kids on the front of kickoff return because they aren't allowed to run the ball. So they kick it onside to this fat kid who just STARES at the ball, they hop on it, two plays later, they score, no conversion. 28-22 them.

We run the kickoff back to the fifty, and this is the fourth quarter now. 4th and two, and get stuffed by their fat ass nose guard. One minute left in the game, and I was NOT going to let our team go out like this. They started kneeling, and I was like HELL NO. I called timeout, lined up ALL my linebackers (4 of them) both defensive ends ALL over the center and I said, "You better get me that ball." Our guys totally blew up the center on the snap and knocked him back into the QB who dropped the ball. We recovered on their 40.

40 seconds left, sweep left, stuffed. I call timeout, ran two straight pass plays that were incomplete. 4th and 10, threw the same pass to our TE, went all the way in for the touchdown. We put in a trap right before the game and there is NO DE in little league who knows what pulling is, so our guard DESTROYED their DE and we went in untouched for the conversion.

We kicked off, and the D was so fired up that they didn't gain a single yard until I pulled our LBs and safeties back into prevent and they ran out with :00 left on the clock. Just thought I'd share since it felt very similar to the Cowboys game of last year.
