Proud moment for Carter

I know, not more about football..but this is what is consuming most of our time for the past month.  We had a few rain storms that caused Monday's practice to be cancelled and we were excited to finally have a night off from football.
 I just had to post about how hard Carter has been working to play more offense positions.  He is not a big fan of being on defense and tackling.  He likes to get away from all the tackles as much as possible.  He has been asking his coach every practice and game if he can play offense and the coach kept brushing him off.  So, last week the coach had some running drills to see who is the fastest player on the team to run some offensive plays...and guess who won every drill....Carter!  I am not kidding he is amazingly fast!   


So, this past Saturday's game Carter finally got what he had been working hard for at practice and got to play more offensive plays.  He was so excited to grab a fumbled ball and run it a few yards.
 

He also is on the the kick off and kick off returns teams.  He still was put in as a middle line backer on the defensive teams, but he didn't mind.  He will go where ever the coach tells him to go.

The boys huddling. 

The proud moment for Carter was when he was recognized after the game with a candy necklace from the coaches.  They said that Carter works hard at every practice and game and that he will play any position that is asked of him.  They also appreciated that he hussles on and off the field, to and from huddles and doesn't stop until the whistle blows to end a play.  Way to Go Carter!  We love to see him get recognized for something that he did all on his own.
