Jacob has begged us for years to play tackle football. I have always been so worried and thought I could put him off until at least Junior High. But this year he ramped up his supporting arguments, even saying that it was the ONLY thing he wanted for his birthday. We agreed to give it a try. What an investment it has been! Besides the fees and equipment we've had to pay for, they started 5-a-week practices the end of July. Two hours every night (in 115 degrees) hasn't even fazed Jacob at all. When other kids are crying and throwing up, Jacob is grinning and ready to go again. He never complains. He loves it. LOVES it. Every minute.
Their scrimmage game was on Aug. 18th. His practice jersey is #30. Watch how he is ready...
and set...
and INTERCEPTION!!
He just has a mind for the game. He can see plays coming and where the action will be. The coaches have recognized that skill and place him just where he needs to be to make those catches and interceptions. He's a great defender! More on the season later...
