\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>For the fifth year in a row, the parents of the annual Stapleton Thanksgiving football game at Central Park were dominant, winning 63-0, and injuring at least five kids. \u201cWe played our hearts out today,\u201d said parent Luke Bianco (37). \u201cThe adults came prepared today, and that preparation showed. I feel a little bad for the kids, but they will learn from this, and hopefully play a little harder next year.\u201d\n\nTim Schall (42) led the attack for the adults scoring three times catching the ball, once eluding five or six seven year olds before scampering 12 yards into the end zone. \u201cIt felt great to be out there,\u201d said Schall. \u201cI haven\u2019t played football since I didn\u2019t make the team as a sophomore in high school. I feel like this eased some of that pain, and at the very least, showed my high school coaches that they were wrong in cutting me.\u201d\nThe kid\u2019s team was led by a couple of 12 year olds and three ten year olds, but was mostly comprised of six to eight year olds. \u201cI would say that height hurts us the most,\u201d said kid\u2019s captain Zack Lewis. \u201cI mean, they can literally throw it above our heads and we can\u2019t jump up to knock it down. This was a humiliating loss, but all of us know that if we can keep this game going for another five to ten years, we are going to start hurting and embarrassing them badly.\u201d\nAfter some injuries, organizers are considering changing some rules for next year. \u201cAfter the game, some of us talked and think that we shouldn\u2019t allow blocks below the waist,\u201d said Bianco. \u201cDads were going in pretty low to take out the kids, which right now is legal, but it did cause some injuries and some tears.\u201d\nAside from some small rule changes, the game will be played again next year as scheduled. \u201cI would not miss this for the world,\u201d said Schall. \u201cI am not sure if she was there today, but if she was, I am guessing my ex-wife finally gained some respect for me.\u201d]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
