I have a nephew.....

who played Tennis in HS.... just graduated HS last year. In the beginning I felt sorry for him. My grandsons, best friends with him, were great football players. Stars of their teams.... but my nephew just stopped growing..... he's maybe 5' 3" and I doubt if he weighs more than 110lbs. He just couldn't play football at a HS level.... but he wanted so badly to follow in his cousin's footsteps.

But there is a happy ending..... he switched to Tennis, gave up football.... and his Jr. year he was not only our HS's #1 ranked player but #1 in our league as well. All my grandson's challenged him to matches, (they never took tennis), and got their asses whooped. I loved it.
