Well Stone's team finished their season today with a real exciting game! The Mity Mite Purple Team ended season play at 6-3 , 4th seed in their division. They played the #1 team today The Brighton Bengals, probably the hardest loss they had up to this point, because it was such a head to head match-up. So the picture show the captains on the field having the coin toss. Stone is #5 with White towel hanging. Another memorable event, the boys were able to play on Cottonwood High School's Astro-turf field.
The boys were just ecstatic and were beaming. At the beginning of the game they other team had a small presentation and news clip for a team mate who is currently going through cancer treatments, this was very touching and meaningful and I do believe it touched all the boys in a positive way! The Silverwolves gave the ailing boy a signed Riverton Jersey as a token of their support in his battle against cancer. Stone ended the season playing Starting QB, Running Back, Corner, Safety, Kicker - He was well utilized and he was voted by his teammates "MOST VALUABLE OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR". This made him feel really good, knowing that being Quarterback you either are blamed for the loss or complimented for the win, Its a catch 22 any way you look at it.
(So according to our local statistician, (Dad) Stone finished the year with 14 TD's - 12 Run In - 2 reception TD's - 4 more completed TD passes. What a season, not including the 3 that were called back in different games due to team penalties..)
Way to Go Gibby! Not only a star on the field but Off!
