You lose track of time in the woods. I have these moments that serve as road markers (for lack of a better term) for the week, and they are usually locked to particular days. Friday is for high school football. However, it went down on Thursday this week, leading me to believe that I’d already blogged today, but it is Saturday and my road marker there is my kid playing at Drake. He played today. He played well–several big plays on special teams including being a part of two blocks. He covered their top guy expertly–not bad for a 17 yr old kid. He got called for a Pass Interference on a play where he shouldn’t have, and that cost the team some yards, but he made up for it in other ways–shining throughout his time on the field.
I am really happy at his progress. He’s been amazing. He is growing so much and learning so much. I’m deeply excited to see what it looks like next year. Heck, I’m excited to see how he performs over the next two games. His team is about one win away from locking up a division championship and a trip to the FCS playoffs–likely against a strong Montana team who put 42 on Cal Poly last week and is even (7-7) with UC Davis at the time of this posting.
Things are shaping up nicely. I’m looking forward to the days ahead.
