High School Football Underway
I never played High School Football myself but my middle son, Nick absolutely loves it.
He’s in Grade 11 at St. Charles and this is his second year on the varsity team.
The games are hard hitting and extremely well attended with some great school spirit.
It reminds me of the “old days” when fans were literally hanging from the rafters at Stanley Stadium in Copper Cliff for the hockey rivalry between the Lively Blackhawks and Copper Cliff Braves. I had the pleasure of being part of the Lively team as a student manager (stick boy) and the fan support and passion was absolutely amazing.
Fast forward 30 + years and all of a sudden, I’m a proud father watching my 16-year old in action on the grid iron.
Time does fly doesn’t it ….especially once you have children.
Someone once told me to enjoy these days for all their worth …the running around to football, soccer and hockey rinks …because in no time at all it’ll be over and you’ll miss them dearly.
As far as the picture below ….I’m the one on the left.
