So our youngest is a freshman and loves football. This week in practice he was tapped to start at left guard on offense from his normal position of right guard. It was so swampy out there last night in the boondocks of central GA. it was unbelievable. He killed it at guard and then was rotated in at D tackle. Here is what he was up against(he's the short kid in white):

    Great to see some normal stuff again! My kids had their first XC meet Thursday. Everyone not running had to wear masks or get shamed or icy glares.
    Love yours. D

    That's awesome! Starting Lineman for the Varsity Team as a Freshman, you do have a lot to be proud of Dad.

    I played Offensive Guard in High School FB as well, a tough position that takes a lot of work.

  • A good spin move will defeat those offensive giants in the first half and then just wait for them to fall forward when you step aside during the second half. Wearing them out with their own weight is a skill in itself. Glad to see sports played for sporting sake, not for entertainment or worse, virtue signalling.

    Interesting you say that....the pics above were the same play were he spun away from the kids and almost caught the RB you can see in the 2nd pic to the left. That kid was way too fast though and our LB was out of position. The RB had a long run for a TD....in the end we lost by 3. Our school is doing a great job managing everything so hopefully we can keep the season going. Go Hawks!

    That kid looks like a man among boys in the picture. Awesome that your son held his own against him.
