Game 7: 11.02.08 | Leimert Park Chargers vs. California Cowboys

Not just Any Given Sunday!

Rain, rain go away, please come back another day! On an early, wet and rainy Sunday morning when the nation fell back an hour for fall a few hours earlier, parents and future leaders grappled to muster the strength to get out of their warm and cozy beds to prepare and head to their 7th game of the season in the rain!

This time up...the California Cowboys.

Mother nature opted for a reprieve and decided to spare our little guys, what I'm sure they would have considered pleasurable, from a bunch of mud slingin' and slidin' form of play for just a good ole, clean version (in the literal sense) of a great, All-American, past-time!

The game was great and all of the children on both sides of the field and the benches were awesome in their own right!

Our hats are off to all players, coaches and parents! For the LP Chargers Future League...we're hoping the Snooper Bowl is within our grasp, reach!

Stay tuned...one more game of the regular season to be played next week!

Game 5: 10.11.08 | Leimert Park Chargers vs. Carson Saints

Interestingly, this game, I managed NOT to capture any actual still images of our future league leaders on the field--only avi files! Oh well--just be sure to cop the DVD at the end of the season!

Game 4: 10.04.08 | Leimert Park Chargers vs. Southern Cal Falcons

There was an awesome interception this game by McGuire! Replay, REWIND (think Missy Elliott) all you want when the Season DVD drops!

Score Board wasn't working at Douglas Beattie field...

Chargers 14 ---- Falcons 0

For some reason, despite sporting my vintage-styled Chargers Tee, the competition insisted that I take pictures of them! And, being of stellar quality and good sportswomanship, I obliged. So I bequeath these photos to you. Of course, it's all good--these are all of our babies, no matter what jerseys they sport!

Game 3 Comments: USC vs. Texas Longhorns?

Oops! I meant Leimert Park Chargers vs. The Watts Rams!

This game---a nail bitter, a grit your teeth(er), a game with momentum vacillating from one team to the other! An animated and cheering crowd! It seemed as though we'd made it to the small screen...a Lakers TV-like moment, but Chargers TV instead!

It felt like "...been here before". Oh, yeah---we have. You might Recall: the 2006 Rose Bowl game. Now recall the key players: Reggie Bush and Vince Young. Recall a bit more: Burgundy & Gold vs. Orange & White...you know USC vs. the Longhorns!

And...in the off chance you can't recall any of this, here's a little You Tube video to jog that memory.

Who could forget the performance by Vince Young in this up-setter?

So you ask...what's the juxtaposition of this game to our Future League boys and the Chargers vs. Rams?

You guessed it, the Chargers had their very own Reggie Bush in the form of Kevin McGuire and the Rams had their very own Vince Young in the form of a young 7-year old who's name I don't have as I write this post. Their ubiquitous play was captivating!

However, the outcome of this game was different--the team with the Reggie Bush-look-alike captured the W. That team is our team, the Mighty, Mighty Chargers!

Our hats go off to both teams who played phenomenal and two players who gave us a de ja vu glimpse of the type of game a Future League-Reggie Bush vs. Future League-Vince Young might have looked like when they were aged 6 or 7. It was awesome and it is one of those--better-seen-in-person-than-video moments!

Our pictorial highlights are below and CONGRATS are in order for both the CHARGERS and the RAMS--their awesome and determined players and coaches!
