In August Evan won the local punt, pass, kick competition on post, and he won a spot to compete in the sectionals competition in October. It just so happens that we also had a soccer tournament that same weekend. We couldn't believe our luck when we learned the two events were both in Kentucky and only minutes apart. We couldn't have planned it to be any more convenient. Evan left his first soccer game, competed in the football event, and then raced back to the soccer fields for game two.
First up, the punt, and the event he spent the most time / effort working to improve. Even though we know accuracy is a key ingredient in winning, Wes calcuated it was 60 "something" feet. Math has never been his strong suit.
Then it was the pass. We think this was about 70 feet.
Last, it was the kick, and this was more than 90 feet.
He had a total score of more than 200 feet, a score much higher than his first competition. Because we were in such a hurry to get back to the soccer fields, we didn't see how the other boys in his age group did. And now we are just waiting to see if his total score was high enough to qualify for the team level.
I think he might be just a little bit excited about the prospect of competing at the next level. I found him asleep tonight cuddling his football.
