No, it's not just a classic football pre-game song by AC/DC anymore.... it's Desert Hills High School "Thunder" and Eli's 6th grade team. Eli played his first full season of little league football (he played a few games in 3rd grade before we moved from Idaho) as a Running Back and Defensive End. He always yells and screams on the field to get his team fired up (he takes after his Dad). Eli: "WHO ARE WE?" Team: "THUNDER!" Eli: "HOW DO WE HIT?" Team: "HARD!" He'll repeat that a few times then yell "THUNDER!!!!!!" Eli has become a fan of Desert Hills football now, going to as many of the high school games that he can. He even changed his favorite song to "Thunderstruck". He listens to it before almost every one of his games.
It's good to see him enjoy the sport and take it seriously with a firm determination to win. They ended up with some wins and losses, and some great plays. I hope he looks back with a positive view of the season, even if they didn't take first place in the league. It's all about the experience!
