    Smiles and high fives were abundant after Saturday morning flag football games at Husky Stadium. Hampton and Aurora teams greet each other here in a show of sportsmanship, all part of the game young boys and girls are learning at the most fundamental level. Aurora football coach Kyle Peterson said he is energized himself by the energy and love of the game he sees on young players faces, as well as the show of support from parents, grandparents and family members who line the field each Saturday morning. No official score is kept during the games, which each last about an hour.
