Lee is playing JV and Varsity football with the Eldon Mustangs this year. So far, the teams have been on a rampage! We did not go to the away game tonight, but the facebook discussion is letting us know that the boys are ahead 21 to 0 after the first quarter! This is pretty much how all games have been this season. The only loss for Varsity was Westran, and they were State Champions last year (but our team still gave them a solid run for their money). The only loss for the JV team so far was North Callaway, which the boys made some mistakes and lost 3 touchdowns to flags. They would have creamed them if they hadn't had the flags! Lee has been playing football with all his heart since 5th grade, and even before that if you count flag football. He has struggled with his long legs and huge feet, slowing his running pace down and now finally he has grown so many inches and is caught up. He is a force to be reckoned with at 6ft 1inch and 175 pounds. He is nowhere near done growing either...I just keep feeding him constantly and he can easily drink a gallon of milk in 24 hours if he is home all day.
Last night he layed down on the floor in front of me and growled about how sore he was all over. Between practices and playing both teams, he spends at least 18 hours a week playing football.
He is a little bruised up and of course, it makes me a little nervous that he could get seriously hurt. Can't say that it is the sport I would have chosen for him to be safe, but he LOVES it!
Monday is a game at California. Kim plans to come with the kids and she also hopes to get some good pictures. If something turns out good, I will post it so you can see how much he has changed in the last few months.
