Apparently William's football league has a newsletter. Here is the link:

Here is the excerpt about the Falcon's victory, which saves me the time of writing it. Double awesome!
The Falcons upset Steelers for title
The Steelers went through the regular season
undefeated and reached the first grade
playoff title game before falling to the Falcons
6-0.
The Steelers had beaten the Falcons 6-0 in
the regular season.
The Falcons had a tough road to the title
game. They had to beat the Cougars 12-0 in
the quarterfinals and then blasted the
Bengals 29-2 in the semifinals.
The championship game was a defensive
struggle.
The only score in the game came on a pass
interception for a touchdown by the Falcons’
Ben Bybee with 7:40 left in the first half.
“We got a pick six and they missed theirs,”
Falcons coach David Martin said.
The Falcons did not allow a touchdown in
the playoffs.
“Our team defense was the reason we were
able to win the championship,” Martin said.
“Our defense did not give up a point the whole
playoffs. How about that?”
Martin said that Brent Pitts and Logan
Morgan were able to pull crucial flags to stop
any of the Cougars momentum in the quarterfinals.
“In the second game, William Gibson made
two key flag pulls to stop the Tigers short of
the first down line,” Martin noted.
In the title game, he said that it was the
pass rushing of Jack Graham that hurried
the pass that Bybee intercepted for the touchdown.
“The Falcons defensive line of Gavin Hohl
and Reid Hulhsoff were pivotal in containing
Jake Welsh of the Steelers,” Martin said.
“And Charlie McCracken led the team with
multiple flag pulls from his right defensive
end spot.”
The coach noted that Henry Martin had
two pass interceptions for touchdowns.
The Steelers reached the title game by beating
Sharks 28-0 in the quarterfinals and
defeating the Saints 18-6 in the semifinals.

One of the things I love about W's coach is that he is humble. His kid (and W's BFF) is an amazing athlete and one of the stars of the team. Yet Dave mentions him last almost as an after thought. Also, he could have hunted for a team of star players to play with his kid, lots of dads do. Instead he worked with the same group for 2 seasons and TAUGHT them how to play great football.
My new motto is: WWDD. What would Dave do.
