We really didn't want Andy to do football. But over the Summer at a basketball camp, the Middle School athletic coaches started recruiting him to play on the school team. He really wanted to! We really didn't!! I had a meeting with the athletic director during the Summer telling him all of our concerns. We don't want Andy having concussions or serious injuries. He eased my worries enough that we decided to let him. (He is #2 in all these photos.)
Football here in Texas is like a religion! People take it super serious. The 7th grade team got split into 2 teams. An "A" and a "B" team. The coaches said there were about 100 players among the teams! Andy got put on the "A" team.
This week they had their first game. A storm came in and it was cut short after half time due to thundering. But Andy played the entire game. What there was of it. He played both offense and defense.
He played pretty well. He did tackle one kid all by himself, preventing that kid from making a touchdown. So that was cool.
And no injuries! Yay!
