This football season has not gone at all according to plan. I’ve managed all of two wins total in 3 leagues in two weeks. My Giants look like Gnats and it is a real question whether or not they’ll break the losing streak this week.
On the youth front the youngest faces his toughest test yet this weekend. He faces a legit Force Football Academy team loaded with speed and talent. We haven’t been able to generate a run game and he hasn’t done a good job holding on to the ball, so he needs to step up or he’ll wind up 3rd string and not playing.
On the High School front my eldest may have suffered a shoulder tear and another ACL injury. So he’s probably done with his HS football days. He won’t dress this week and sees the doc in 2 weeks. Gotta love prompt medicine. The 2nd son is now a starter on varsity. Quite the little 14 yr old sophomore. He’s only going to get better. Of course, he plays in the same league as two of the top 20 (one in the top 2!) teams in the nation, so he’s up against serious talent.
No time for predictions… I’ll handle that tomorrow.
