Well, I am writing this entry from my Blackberry while laying across two bus seats. Our first round football playoff game is tonight in Louisville, so we had to leave the school at 12 so we’ll be there on time.

I finally am able to play – my doctor cleared me to play last Friday! This could be a possible win, so I am really excited to be back. If not, it could be the last game of my entire career, and I want to go out in style. I’m leaving it all out there on that field.

It’s game time! Later!

Ouchies

So the game against Murray didn’t go too well, but the team played with heart and never gave up. I got crushed by a big ‘ole fatty and my arm is killing me. I will be purple and sore all next week for sure. Here’s to next Friday – our rivalry game and our first victory of the season!

I’m headed to Chicago over the Labor Day weekend. I think it’ll be pretty fun. I didn’t get any homework over the weekend, so that was really nice. I wasn’t expecting that! Wish Steph could come but I’ve got next weekend to spend with her!

Time to turn around

Well, it’s been a while since my last update. I apologize, it has been a pretty busy (as usual) week for me. I’m going to have a mini-rant on the football season so far. Enjoy. :-/

Last Friday was terrible. We got stomped in the football game against Lake County, 70-19. There was no defense and a general lack of dedication and heart that contributed to the loss. But that’s the past. It’s time to step up and turn this football season around. There are 9 games left and we can win every single one of them if we dedicated ourselves. As a leader on the team I will do my best to keep my team strong. I’m ready to bust some butt out there tomorrow night vs. Gleason. It’s our first home game, and everybody’s watching. Our backs are to the wall, and we have to escape with a win. Otherwise this may be the sign of a LONG 9 weeks to come.

Sore as Hell

Football practice has not been kind to me over the past couple of days – I have managed to pull my groin and now have to constantly stretch and prevent further injury! In addition, my legs are pretty tired. I feel like Frankenstein or something like him! Grahhhhh.

I am still trying to look up for the next three months. It’s going to be hard, but I have people supporting me on all sides. That helps more than I could ever put into words.

I’ve gotta go to practice now. Be good, ya hear?
