BJH Teacher/Student Flag Football Game

On Friday, November 2nd, the BJH Faculty took on the BJH 7th and 8th grade students in a flag football game.  It was an event not to be missed!  I arrived in time to watch some pre-game warm ups... 
The teachers ran a few plays...
 and huddled...
 to discuss strategy.
 Coach Willoughby took a few pre-game snaps...
 I was hoping that he would play a little quarter back during the game, but he didn't.  
So, alas, I saw no Dan Marino moves.
After working on his offense, Coach Willoughby practiced a little defense...
 The teachers huddled for one last pep talk (and to catch their breaths!) 
 Coach Pipkin and Coach Willoughby discussed a few trick plays!
 Then stood on the sidelines with the rest of the faculty players...
 to watch their competition warm up...
 The flags were finally handed out...
 and put on by the faculty...
 and students...
 It was then the first play of the game...
 The cheerleaders did a great job cheering!
 And Ms. Mathis did a great job providing commentary!

The students drove down and scored.
 The teachers came right back and scored...
 and made their 2 point conversion with a sweet pass to Coach Willoughby, 
who high stepped it into the end zone and then spiked the ball!  
Talk about hot dogging!  
I was clapping (and laughing) so hard that I missed that photo op.  
However, I did get a shot of him strutting out of the end zone!

It was a fast paced game...
 and all of us spectators had a great time watching! 

Both teams moved... 
the ball down the field...
And both teams played pretty good defense...
 After another of the teacher's scoring drives...
 Coach Willoughby ran in another 2 point conversion...
 and was awarded with touchdown calls from the sidelines!
 After this score, Coach Willoughby tebowed...
 which made the kids run up and congratulate him...
 Both teams gave it their all...
 but in the end...
the students out ran the teachers...
and ended up winning the game.
Teachers 28 - Students 36

The teams then met...
 to shake hands...
and post game...
huddle...
Everyone had a blast at the First Annual BJH Faculty/Student Flag Football Game!
 Willoughby and Pipkin - the MVPs?!?
