Andrew snags his first flag (but not his last) of the game. (20110910_2836)
Andrew begins his defensive assault. Note that the ball hasn't snapped... the refs weren't too strict on offsides or false starts.(20110910_2813)
The opposing team (20110910_2772)
The two refs for the day - you wouldn't imagine that they'd get yelled at by one of the coaches during a game between 6 year olds, but it happened. (20110910_2792)
Not sure that mouthpiece fits (20110910_2834)
The team warms up while the flags are untangled (20110910_2754)
The Cavaliers have a little cheerleader, in team colors (20110910_2780)
The Cavaliers have a little cheerleader, though, in team colors (20110910_2780)
Pre-game shake after the coin toss (20110910_2804)
The Cavaliers bring it in (20110910_2806)
... or "creative offensive blocking", either. Andrew makes a new friend. (20110910_2828)
The kids were into it - leaping, diving, styling their hair into mohawks. (20110910_2851)
Just missed the flag, but not for lack of effort. (20110910_2866)
The coaches haven't really taught the boys to go for the ball, so Andrew ignores what's offered to him and focuses on the flag. (20110910_2877)
I wonder if quarterbacks ever look up at the wall of defenders coming at them and think "Oh crap". (20110910_2893)
Luckily there was backup, and more on the way (20110910_2873)
Look at that intensity! (20110910_2901)
Courtesy after the flag grabs, though - flags were handed back to the opponent rather than dropped or tossed. Good to see. (20110910_2903)
He was fast, focused, and very, very good. (20110910_2914)
... but not this one! (20110910_2938)
... two seconds later, and Andrew's got his hands on the flag again. (20110910_2898)
Andrew wasn't he only defensive force on the field - the opposing team had their own enforcer - #19, with the red glasses. (20110910_2912)
He stopped a number of would-be touchdowns. (20110910_2930)
It's fair to say that the other team got a little tired of Andrew coming through the line with such ease. (20110910_2973)
... and he got it! (Looks like #7 got something too!) (20110910_2956)
... reaching... (20110910_2952)
Andrew sneaking between two o-linemen (behind #7) (20110910_2951)
#19 again - but with nice background scenery (20110910_2968)
Post-game handshakes
They stopped him with the clothesline, but he remaining motivated. (20110910_3000)
