BYA…last Thursday was our youngest son, Colin’s (nearly 17 y.o.) FIRST 6-man football game. And of course, feeling the ‘pressure’ because everyone looks to him for his enthusiasim, athleticisim, and sheer guts and determination, he delivered the first touchdown!! Well, I never in my wildest dreams ever thought I’d be a “sports mom”, but here I am, sitting on the sidelines, cheering my son. Biting my nails with each play…and in case you didn’t know it, 6 man football is something ELSE! Many of the players play both sides (aka defense + offense), and it’s mostly about running and hitting other people. The team only incurred two rather minor injuries, and yes, Colin was one of them, we just got back from the Sports Medicine physician because his knee is still swelling daily and very tender, but with ice, Aleeve, caution, and time, it should be fine…IF he can keep from re-injuring it any time soon.

Tomorrow night is our second game in Crowley TX…so we’ll see. (Oh yeah, we won 35 – 26)

When Coach Barker was handing out jersey’s I just had to laugh. A lot of the guys were fighting over numbers from famous NFL players but Colin walked over and grabbed number 1…because he said…I’m going to make my own number famous! That’s my Colin!!
