The End of Football : (
The Singapore American Football League season has come to an end. The three Creasman males will now go into an extended period of mourning, and unproductive Saturdays…
Both of the boys had tremendous seasons. Tyler (11th grade) had his second year of starting quarterback in the 4 team league. He had a couple of very productive games, where he threw for two touchdowns, ran for 1 and 2 touchdowns, and threw for a two-point conversion, without any interceptions. He also made a couple of interceptions and had a couple of big tackles on defense, but only played sparingly as a safety this year. Last year, he played every down of every game, because they only had 14 players on his team. This year they had 18, and his coach wanted to save him for offense. His team made it to the championship game, but came up short and finished second.
Cameron (7th grade) played in the middle school league and was an anchor on the offensive line at guard, sometimes center (where he played last year). What he really loves is playing linebacker, though. The few times he played defense, he made a few sacks and tackles for losses. We expect him to be a beast next year as an 8th grader! His team was dominant this year, going undefeated through the season and winning their championship game in a blowout.
For the second year in a row, Jim was the announcer for the Middle School games, and has found his second vocation. He loves hanging out in the booth with other dads who are running the clock and scoreboard and “spotting” for him. He will miss the comraderie and the taste of America on Saturdays. Kimberly was a team mom and the music DJ for Jim’s announcing. We both led the High School Parents in cheering in the stands during Tyler’s games, and hope to keep up relationships with some of the other parents in the off-season.
