If you guessed Tow, you'd be wrong. MINUS FIVE POINTS!

Spring training for football is done and we had a really good game yesterday (which we lost by 3 points), so everyone's favorite mystical floating demi-god is back.


Btw, if you're wondering, I play starting tackle on O-line, and starting kickoff and kickoff return, and probably will start playing starting Will linebacker.

...Not to brag or nothin'...

If there's one thing I miss about high school, it's playing football. Don't take it for granted while you're there!

Ehhh, football is fun, but i'm still getting used to this weird thing people call "excercise".
It's a strange, almost mystical thing to my body.

See, you guys missed out. All you guys play the big name sports with the dudes. Soccer, football, baseball. Those are fun and all, but track and cross country is where its at. Now, you may think of them as "wimpy" sports because all you do is run, but thats not the issue. Ever try running behind an entire team of hot girls who are wearing spandex shorts and sports bras? Yeah, it rocked. 4 years of doing that and hanging out with said girls for untold hours under the bleachers at track meets (too hot to be on the bleachers in the sun for 6 or so hours in florida). Made it really easy to get a date.

So did I play for the sport or the degree of difficulty? No. I played for the women in revealing and very tight fitting clothing. Sure, we didnt get the fanfare the football players did, but seeing as they had 20 or so cheerleaders to choose from (with a football roster of 80+) and we had 60+ track/cross country girls to choose from (we had 18 guys on the team), it worked out in our favor a lot better.

No State Meets for me though
There's still my Senior year coming up...but the only reason I do track is because it's "strongly suggested" by the coaches if you want to start during football season. I won't have to do it this year though since it's my last year of high school ball.

oh, i just listed the major ones...you know, the ones where I actually WON. if you want all my second/third/etc place finishes, I can go there too

Also, what division do you play in canadian? We were 6A, which is as big as it gets in florida. 1A is generally tiny little private schools with like 50 people or so. 6A is generally schools with 1500+ students. We had 646 people in my graduating class, total of 2600 in the school.

1A. Were the smallest...other than 6-man.

Our 1A isn't quite that small. Thats 6-man football here. We have about 40 in our class, and nearly 200 in the high school.




But don't judge by that. 3 out of the 10 guys I was on the All State List...for linemen alone with are going to play for D-I colleges for OL next year. I don't remember how many of them are Seniors though...not more than 6 or 7.



I can send you our highlight video if you want....It's uploaded onto my computer.

Football is my pride and joy. Track is just on the side due to coaches wanting us to stay in shape. I just happen to be quick.



Here's a few pictures from football...but I'll have to figure out how to get you that highlight video.
