But we couldn't let that get in our way. we had only one day to practice and that day was a friday and the game was the next monday. so the whole weekend and that monday before the game i was nervous as hell.

the only difference was I couldn't move. I was that sore. but I mustered up some energy to get out of bed and get ready for school. that day we got to school everyone was asked him how much did you guys score. did you win. did you lose. and like everybody else on our team I probably said we f*** them up. later that day one of my friends that plays for the varsity team ask me what the score was. 66 - 6. and I left it at that. his hype last it for awhile but unfortunately it was brought down just a little bit though After we lost to benilde. but we still got to say we need blue out Spring Lake Park 66 to 6. and that is something I'll be proud of for the rest of my life. when I'm old retired and my grandchildren asked me with my best memories in football I'll tell this exact story.
