Two of my other favorite teams lost, however; both the fifth grade and sixth grade Pine City Dragon teams! (the fourth grade Dragons were victorious, however! Way to go, guys!) Jordan's 6th grade team held strong until late in the game, but no doubt couldn't make up for his absence due to his season-ending injury. He was able to cheer his team on from the sidelines, though, and is being a great sport about it (no pun intended).
Jonah actually arrived a bit late for his game due to his parents spacing out and forgetting his helmet and pads until we were almost in Forest Lake - a forty-five minute drive away. Yes, we had to head back to Pine City (30 minutes) and then back to Forest Lake. He did make it by the middle of the second quarter and played the rest of the game. They ended up losing only by a couple of touchdowns, but a good time was had by all, nonetheless.
