Alex in practice gear

Day 8 Tomahawk football practice

Today was a piece of cake for Alex....weather was perfect...breezey and cool...They ran very little ...hit and blocked alot more..learned some positions...I think he is starting out as a guard on offense and a linebacker on defense. Nothing major happens just a good smooth practice..... I even took a lounge chair and dozed off for about 3 minutes.
Terri showed up and surprised him...he was happy to see her....After practice some kids stayed over to pass and kick for the coaches to see who was good at it...Alex participated but did not throw it the farthest are kick it the farthest. Then we left and raced another parent and their kid to UDF for ice cream. Alex had 2 scoops of fudgenut sundae with sprinkles...
Hes really starting to have fun...I think.

Next practice is Saturday 9AM.

Day 7

Weds practice was a good one.walking into practice Alex was greeted by Taylor Willaims(former Lakota West football star and KK's first boyfriend that's how he knows Alex)Plus In a team huddle one of the coaches congratulated Alex for having the hardest hit he had seen for a first year player...( I even heard the hit from across the field) They did not run as much but they hit and tackled more...

One player quit today...His dad was disheartened...Alex was totally surprised the boy quit.

I said " see Alex all the boys are having a tuff time"

I think he felt good that hes not the only boy that struggles.... I dont think he will quit.
