This was our son's first year playing football and we have enjoyed a fabulous season watching him develop into quite a force on the line. He plays offensive guard and defensive tackle and has done a great job learning the game, mastering the skills, and playing the game. I am so very grateful for a phenomenal group of coaches that taught the game and encouraged the players. They were exactly the right people to lead our boy into this sport that he now loves. Of course, it doesn't hurt that he comes from generations of football players on both sides of his family ... and his dad has always been the greatest encouragement to him. It is always amazing for me to see our boys look up to their dad and see his shining example. This season was definitely a time of bonding and encouragement for my baby boy and I am thankful for it.
