Jordan in the Seahawks game..

Here is Jordan at the Seattle Seahawk Game for the Punt, Pass, and Kick Competition. It was a bittersweet event. Jordan did great and had no competition but 1 other kid. It was neck and neck until the end, with Jordan beating him by only 2 feet. We were ecstatic and all the other kids congratulating him. When it came time for the awards, the announcer called Jordan the second place finalist. The 1st kid and Jordan just sat there a moment uncertain what happened. Later, when we asked what had occured, the people went back and then after spending some time, told us that they gave an additional penalty to Jordan on him punt of 5 feet. The video I took does not show him over the line, so we truly feel like he won. Jordan felt bad, but it was a wonderful experience that he was able to go and be on the field.
Jordan did win the passing and kicking, so he was able to do both of those events on the field at half-time. He wa on the jumbo screen and his name in lights. He got to kick the final field goal and made it. Pretty great for him. And a fun trip all around!
