Owen (Gold #53) had his toughest football game ever yesterday. Poor guy, he was playing center and they were lining up in both A gaps against him and he was trying to handle two huge guys on his own.
At one point, I saw him try to just run forward with his arms outstretched at his sides, to sort of clothesline them. Nothing else he was doing could stop those two guys. He just didn’t know how to stop two guys at once.
(Maybe when he’s older and a bit stronger, he’ll use Jack’s (#24 Gold) technique of grabbing the two guys at once and then smashing them into each other!)
Owen played linebacker on defense and had a couple of good tackles, but also got fooled on the counter and came inside a couple of times, missing the play. All in all, I think he’s ready to move on to next week! 
The team was sapped by illness and injury and only had 13 players to face Methacton. They all tried their best and there were definately some bright moments.
