McKade

Tonight was the final night of football try-outs. Because Brett is coaching Trevin's team we already knew what team he would be on. McKade spent a grueling week showing all the coaches what he was made of. We did put a little pressure on him saying how our life we be so much easier if he made the "A" team because then they would both play their games at the same places just at different times. They split the "A" team off first and McKade wasn't in that group. My heart broke when I looked over and saw him sitting there with his head hung low. He came over to get a drink and we told him how proud we were of him and that it didn't matter what team he made. They made the kids run for almost another hour while they separated the other 3 teams. They finally started pulling kids out for the "A2" team and as carefully as we had watched we didn't see them pull McKade out of the group of kids. When they finished calling names the group of kids stood up to come and tell their parents and to my surprise McKade was in the group after all. I am so proud of that boy and how hard he has worked. He is really going to have to prove himself to the coaches this year!!!!
