As of last night at 11:00 my son is a part of the championship team. They went 13-0 this season - not too shabby. The game was supposed to start at 7:30, but at 7:30 the game before us wasn't even at halftime yet - so I have no idea what time we started, but at 11:45 we were meandering back to our car.
It was a good game, the other team was also undefeated, but we beat them soundly, outscoring them by two touchdowns. I haven't' cheered this hard since Cathedral won the state championships when I was in high school.
Josh made the comment that he only got in one play last night - that it didn't really feel like he helped win the game. But - he missed most of the season last year - and this year more than half of the boys did weight training over the summer, but he didn't because we had him signed up in the wrong league. It is hard to be fourteen - and even though he didn't score the winning points like he did when he played back in Indiana -he was on the "A" team - his first year in the league - and they certainly aren't a bunch of schmucks - for a kid who transferred in and didn't spend the summer bulking up - he went really far on talent alone.
And to borrow his quote - if you are perfect then you don't have a goal to work toward. By next season he will be filled out, and his muscles will start to bulk up and I think he will be a real contender for a starting position... but time will tell. So this morning, we'll just bask in the victory.

Congrats to Josh! What an accomplishment, especially down south where football is a religion!
I just noticed the "Jerry Indiana" link on the left. You are too funny. Usually when I introduce myself to people, they reply, "Nice to meet you, Gary".
Y'all coming to corn country anytime soon? If so, swing by!
