Austin after his scrimmage
He had some great tackles, but my favorite play was when Austin stripped the ball from the other team and started to run! Austin was so excited, he didn't hear the whistle blow, calling the play. Here is a quick clip of the play:
The next morning, he had his first game. They called it a Football Carnival. Each team played 2 games at he huge High school Stadium. He had to be at the school at 7:20am. Austin is not a morning person! Jason went in to wake him up at 6:20am and he was already awake laying in his bed. When he went back in to check on Austin a little bit later, he was just getting the last of his uniform on. This was the first time he got to wear all of it. Before going down to get breakfast, he said, "Hang on. I just want to look in the mirror." He turned and looked at himself all decked out in his football gear. "That looks awesome!"
We didn't get to talk to him until after his game. The stadium is huge! I was so glad we brought binoculars. 
Jason and I were nervous for him before each game. He must have felt so grown up playing on the High School field with the big stadium and the announcers booming over the speaker!
