It was a game I never will forget.. We received the ball at the beginning of the game, and as we profusely drove the ball down their throats. The Clare Pioneers who we have not beat since 2006, cannot stop the run. All the sudden it is the fourth quarter and we are losing, 22-28 still driving the ball down the field we get stopped about three yards shy of a first down. So we pass the ball.. From under center Donald call Hit! he rolls right and as he gets hit he throws looking for Eddie down the side and its intercepted and as i see him pick it off my heart drops. We lost that game 42-22. I was heartbroken i thought it would be the year we knock off the Pioneers as the JackPine champs. The fight I had, Represented everything I put in this summer,

i said “Dad, what is this?” he said back to me “it is football Tommy.” and at that moment I was so intrigued by them kicking it between the “big yellow things” as I called them when I was a kid but I later learned they were called Goal posts. And so i asked my dad “Dad.. how do you play this game?” and he said “If you have time I will tell you.” So after a while of talking to him the urge to play this game got bigger and bigger! So I explained to my dad why I liked this game and he said they were starting a youth football league and I freaked out at the time I was in 4th grade and next would be my time to shine!

So it 's my first game and I get up to the line and it 's a thirty four lead and I block my guy and I put him on the ground my first ever pancake block ever! And after that game the coaches put me on the starting offensive line but not at guard at center! I have never ever played this position before so all week at practice they give me reps all week at center and they told me to go and watch the high schoolers play so my dad and I did and this is when they were good like we are now.

As the season progresses in my first season of play i noticed myself becoming really good not good enough as some coaches would say.
