Yep............

I don't know what the actually statistic is , so I'm just going to make one up

99.9 percent of high school football players will never go on to play another down of football the rest of their lives

but..............

but what they learned playing high school football will go with them the rest of their lives

the team work and friendships will last a life time

I'm still good friends with all my old teammates and still in contact with most of them , many still live near by , and most I have on Facebook

I've always been a big supporter of youth organized sports and the importance of good coaching , and alot of what I mean for good coaches is on how you coach after a loss

winning is easy , how a coach handles a loss will go with those kids forever

speaking of friendships

my high school QB sent me a photo on Thanksgiving day , someone had posted it on his Facebook page and then he forwarded it to me , the picture is all about Kelly , I just happened to be in it , Kelly is the QB , I'm the other guy, I don't remember ever seeing that photo before ,

Kelly is now the Principle and also athletic director / coach for a school for kids with special needs down in southern Iowa , his sister is also in the photo of the girls basketball team , shes the one in the middle , #11

small town living , I would chance a thing

well..........

other then the weather maybe
