TO ALL MY FELLOW MUYFA MEMBERS!
In 1995 when I started Unlimited Weight football in MD, my intent
was to provide a place for the Big Guys to learn and play the greatest game ever. To give these kids an opportunity...and
to have fun. I was concerned about equipment, practices, who will they play, fields, coaches, etc. Last
weekend I saw the pinnacle of the work that I started so many years ago. This could not have occurred with out the support,
help and understanding from each and everyone who has ever been involved in this wonderful program.....and I thank you.
Saturday night
at M & T Bank Stadium the Howard Co Bruins played for the Md State Youth Football Championship. Coach Randy Hall's
Bruins played hard and tough throughout the game. The Tigers scored first but the Bruins answered and went ahead 8-6 in the
first qtr. The Bruins stopped the Tigers on a 4th down try and took the ball over on downs. In the 3rd qtr the Tigers scored
, taking the lead 12-8. The Bruins answered with a TD and 2 point kick...and take the lead 16-13. Late in the 4th qtr...the
Tigers go for it on 4th and one....the Bruins D stuffs the runner and with a minute left in the game, the refs take a measurement
(which was a bad spot in my opinion), and give the Tigers a first and 10 to continue their drive. The Tigers
than score the go ahead TD to win the game.
WHAT A GAME! I must say that I am proud of the level of play...the
sportsmanship...the team work ...and the character that the Bruins displayed. I am sure that even though
the Bruins were not victorious on the scoreboard, the memories of playing in this game will be good ones.
My Best to
all of you....and Merry Christmas!
