Strong safety/Free Safety OLB about 100 lbs, ago. Of course I stopped playing after 9th grade like a dumb ass. My parents didn’t explain to me that as a 5’6″ pipsqueak I was going to shoot right on past these manly 9th graders who were the first to 5’9″ and had blazing speed but had peaked. By 12th grade shoulders were broad, I was up to 6’1″ and much stronger, but I was stuck playing hoops trying to get that schollie.

Coulda been a contenda.

My son’s old High school is playing for state title game tonight at 4:00 PST against one of those No-Cal catholic schools. He would have been a big part of the team too, so for one night I am really bummed that we had to move.
