Nighthawks

Jacob had a great season with the Mesa Nighthawks. He's such a dedicated and tireless player with an incredible understanding of the game.

Sept. 1st. Nighthawks v. Tucson Wildcats. WIN 26-0.

Jacob is still #30 in this game; their official game jerseys had not arrived in time.

We were so excited that they won so handily. Isaac couldn't resist a huge hug for Jacob.

Sept. 8. Nighthawks v. West Valley Hoyas. LOSS 18-26.

The pre-game weigh-in. Jacob is #43 now.

The pre-game hype-up.

Jacob had to block this huge kid the entire game. Not easy!

Sept. 15th. Nighthawks v. Chandler Knights. WIN 14-6.

Jacob is an incredible, well-rounded player. He can always be counted on to get open to receive the ball.

He's a pretty good blocker.

An awesome kicker.

And, like I said, can almost always catch the ball.

Good game, Nighthawks!

Sept. 22nd. Nighthawks v. Southeast Valley Aztecs. LOSS 6-19.

We get such a kick out of the Nighthawks cheerleaders. They do their cute little cheers and even made a banner for the football players to run through.

The Nighthawks fought hard but this was a tough game all around.

Jacob caught this ball,

but this was a heartbreaking play. He had his hands on the ball and it would have been a touchdown, but that  kid just stripped it right out of his grasp.

Sept. 29th. Nighthawks v. Laveen Stampede. WIN 18-0.
