Oliver played his third season of flag football with the Bills. With a first time coach and only one familiar team member I was proud of Oliver’s commitment to the sport and team. Mostly on offense this season, it was fun to see his growth and see him score his first touchdown. The coaches, recognizing his speed, shifted him to defense as a rusher as we approached the end of the season. With a semi-final win, the coach prepares the boys for what’s to come next, the Super Bowl. The semi-final win was sweeter with Lola here to cheer them on.
Super Bowl game time and nerves were high but the boys were warmed up, had the right mindset and were ready to go.

A defensive game and tightly matched, the score was 0-0 as we headed into overtime. The boys remained calm and focused despite many unfair penalty calls.

And a field goal for the win!
I am so proud of Oliver’s growth this season, the teamwork and sportsmanship of this team, and so grateful to the incredible coaches for challenging them and keeping them grounded. Congratulations Super Bowl Champs!
