#23 Defensive End - Red and white shoes


Defensive End... Sounds like the conclusion of some Days of our lives episode but if you know John it is all about the DRAMA. Of note, I told him before the game if he laid on the turf I would scale the fence and carry him off the field myself. He popped up like a daisy every time and smiled at me.

At the end of the game I handed out puppy chow. One of the boys walked passed me with his baggy full of sugar and told the boy he was walking with "I use to get orange slices after a game." The next day when John was eating his puppy chow at the end of lunch, he felt something strange behind him, a presence, something waiting.... It was 6 of his teammates staring at his baggy of joy. Next game is Thursday night at BCS at 5:30 pm against the school of the deaf. No I am not kidding.
