It’s been a while since I posted mainly because of busyness. My youngest brother, Caul, had his toughest game of the season this past Friday night with a win over Lafayette County. I had meant to post about the season opener at home.
My high school just completed a new stadium, the first one it hasn’t shared with the local community college. Caul began his senior year of football at the new stadium. He and his two cousins were team captains for the night (he’s #55), which was a great honor. From what I hear it was a spectacle to behold! The field was in great shape. The lights went out with a laser show around the smoking teepee at the locker room (we are the Indians). The guys ran through a tunnel that went under the home bleachers and comes out at the 50 yard line. The stadium was full. What a night! They trounced Amory for the opener.
I’m very happy for Caul. He has been to the state playoffs every year. They have a serious chance of going all the way this year, and I hope they do. Those will be some great memories that neither John (my younger brother) or I ever had. My teams went 6-24 in high school. I just hope Caul realizes what a wonderful thing he is experiencing and savors every moment. I proud of him and for him.
Hopefully, I can post in the future about a state champion!
