The Catonsville Stars defeated the Elicott City Patriots yesterday, 26-24, in a wild game in Elkridge. This was one of the most exciting games we've been to so far. The first half was pretty listless, with neither team getting very far. However, some individual efforts put the Stars up 12 to 0 at half time. The second half was a completely different story. The Patriots returned to the field determined to score and by the fourth quarter were ahead of the Stars 14 to 12. Then, in the fourth quarter, everything went nuts. The Stars really turned it on and started blocking and playing hard. The Patriots scored again, putting them further ahead 22 to 12. Then, on the kick-off one of the Stars ran it back for the touchdown, bringing them closer, 19 to 22. The Patriots were able to kick a field goal (only 2 points in little league) making their lead 24 to 19. But, the Stars got the ball back and in the final seconds of the game, scored another touchdown and extra point, to get the win, 26-24.
Like I said, this was one of the best games so far. The parents were going wild and they boys were having a great time. This is when kids' sports is so much more fun and meaningful than watching NFL on TV.
Lacey and I watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall this weekend. It was pretty good. Not completely hilarious like 40 Year Old Virgin or Knocked Up, but it was enjoyable. Worth a look.
