Coastal 28, Stony Brook 38

While it certainly wasn't their best game ever, Coastal had some real positive points where they almost rallied to tie the game.  I have to say their punter (who also happens to be my brother) played a fantastic game!  Ben had a play that really changed the momentum of the game.  It looked like it was going to be an all-out shut-out.  I mean, people were leaving in the middle of the first quarter!  It was that bad!  Well, in the third quarter, Ben was about to punt when he had to run the ball.  He didn't have time to get the punt off so he ran for it.  Sure enough he got a first down!  We were back in the game!  I told Ben after the game that he had no reason at all to hang his head.  He did a great job of doing his job exactly when and how the team needed it.  I'm proud of you, Ben!

This game marks the end of a chapter for our lives as it is the last Coastal football game we will be able to attend while Ben plays college ball.  He is now a senior and has only four more games left in the season.  We can't make it to another game because we have a baby coming soon, and can't be too far from home.  We don't know exactly what will happen after Ben is done with college ball.  He will most definitely continue to go as far as he can.  He has so much potential!  It has been great to be a part of CCU football, and only wish I could have made it to more games.
