Football Mania

These last couple of weeks have been craazy! 2 a days with football is done....that was murder! This last week has been a bit saner with football, we only practiced 3.5 hours a day! lol

This is my first year to play football. Coach came and talked to me the other day and said, "You can either get little playing time on Varsity, or I can put you on JV and you'd get a LOT of playing time." Hmmmm....no playing......or lots of playing time. I'm on JV now. I'm having a lot of fun. There's not nearly as much glory or hype on JV, but the guys there aren't nearly as arrogant as the Varsity guys are and I'm learning the game and actually playing it. lol

I'm starting wide receiver. I was worried about learning the plays in time for the game (in about 6 hours) but I think I've got them all down. It really is pretty easy once you get the hang of it. I think my only problem right now is catching the ball, but I'm getting better at it.

There's a really fast update....sorry I haven't updated lately. I'm trying! I've got to run and get some school done before I need to get ready for the game.....I've got a good feeling about it.

ER

It has almost been 2 weeks since I last updated....sorry!! It has been crazy! I don't really remember what I did before this week, but this week football practice started.

We're doing 2 a days.....I was having a blast and tearing it up. I love all of the drills and how intense it is. On day two, about 30 minutes before we were done for the day, I got hurt though. We were running a play and I was playing defensive end. I saw a gap in their line and so I shot through it. Their QB jumped in front of me to block me and I slid to the left and collided with their runner back as he tried to make a run for it. We both ended up on the floor....I've heard a lot of conflicting stories from this point on.....some say I was down for about a minute, others said I jumped right up.....all agreed that when I did get up and I went back over to the line of scrimmage and lined up again. lol His face mask smacked me pretty hard in the face and I was bleeding and ended up needing to go to the ER and get stitched up.

so I've been out of football for the last couple of days, just waiting for the cut to scab before I can start doing drills again and then I have to wait till they take the stitches out of my chin till I can start tackling again. Oh well.
