Tie in Double OverTime

Roman got to play his first real game of the season! We put on his splint and wrapped it with sports wrap (yellow to match his uniform!) and off he went. His first play out and he jumped the start and coach took him right back out. He beat himself up on the sidelines for a bit, had a quick talk with dad and finally approached coach and asked to go in. That's exactly what Coach West was waiting for! He knew he was finally ready, really ready to head back out, because this time Roman WANTED to play. At the end of the game they were tied and into overtime they went. At the end of overtime they were still tied, so into double overtime they went.... once OT started, Roman never came off the field switching between offensive and defensive lines with more determination than probably any other player on the field. At the end of the second overtime they were still tied and the game ended in a draw. Roman's response.... it wasn't a total win, but I told you we wouldn't lose if I was on that field!

Yup, there'll be no living with him now!
