Saturday Night Lights (went out, whoops)

Our season opener went remarkably well as we defeated the Corvallis Pride, 34-0. Corvallis won the toss but deferred, so we got the ball to start the game. After the opening kick off, we ran one play up the middle 66 yards to score a touchdown right off the bat.

We played well and executed well, though there are still lots we need to improve on. Unfortunately Maddox got hurt shortly after the game started, and Stella got hurt later on. Another unfortunate issue was the personal foul penalties our team was called for.

I eventually got to get in and get a few snaps in the 4th quarter, during which Steph's leg hit me in the ankle and it's bruised and swollen again.

Also a minute and a half from the end of the game, the stadium lights went out and we all got to wait an exciting 10 minutes for them to turn back on. Real cool.

This Saturday we'll be in Portland to play the Shockwave and the Saturday after that we'll be back home to play the Sacramento Sirens.

What time is it? GAME TIME!

Tomorrow is GAME DAY.

The Majestics kick off our season at home in Kent against the Corvallis Pride. We've gotten our uniforms and helmet decals and we've been practicing hard to get out there and beat them.

I'm excited, even though I don't know how much of the game I'll get to play. Hopefully I'll get some snaps even just towards the end of the game.

The Fightin' Newsies!

The West Seattle Herald has an article on the team this week.

Oh look who's next to Steph in the picture.

Oh look, I think I need more air in my helmet...
