Weekend report

It's been a long week. All 4 of us have been fighting off either a mild cold or fall allergies, we're not sure which. Not everyone, every day. It's just been moving through us. Such is the life in fall in East TN.

Trevor is enjoying school so far. Brett starts back Monday.

Football is taking all of our free time right now. Practice 2 hours a night Mon-Wed, we had a game in a monsoon Thursday night (lost to Catholic 14-7), and a game yesterday (lost 30-0).

Trevor got to play significant time in yesterday's game against their rival, CBFO Farragut.
Only problem is he spent a bit of that time as a defensive lineman, a position he doesn't practice and is undersized for. And the other team is bigger anyway. See #71 in this picture? He's as big as adults.
Well.....just GUESS who Trevor ended up rushing against most of the game.
Ironically, I had just been talking with him about when he can't go THROUGH a player, trying to be smarter and go AROUND the player by stunting or spinning.
But either way, it was a LONG day for him. Here he is being double teamed by TWO kids way bigger than him.
At the end of the game, he was totally spent.
The photo of the day had to be this one of Trevor, Jack (best friend, neighbor, and classmate), and two teammates after the game. It reminded me of how after the baseball games when I played for the Lake Lucina Youth Association Dodgers, we'd all go behind the main concession stand and play game after game of "cup ball". It was a baseball game using a crushed red wax Coke cup as the ball and we'd just use our hand as the bat. Silly I know but those were fun games.
