Ok that last post is dead.  First off the thing about not playing any sport again is wrong. I will be playing sports again. Secondly let me rephrase my camp experience. It was fun. There happy?

I apologize to everyone who has been kind enough to write comments and read my blog. I have been very busy these past few weeks because of baseball. Which went somewhat well. There was a few problems with other players on the team. I have realized that I most likely will not be playing baseball or football or any sport again. I will tell more a little later in the week. After baseball was finished I didn't do anything but get ready for family camp. Which was amazing.

Alright I have been in baseball for two weeks now. It is so fun being back in a sport that I know and love to play. I could  be considered a utility player right now. I play any position that they need me to. Thats all I got right now but I'll be back soon.



Oh yea I'll use the new template Mrs J.

I know that there are plenty of template designers. And I was wondering if someone would be willing to help me with mine. I am an crazy sports fan and would love if you could design me a sports page. Leave a comment if you know someone who could help or could do it yourself.

wow life is just way to fast. In the past two months I have done nothing but school, played with dogs, and babies. And more school. Did I mention SCHOOL. I start baseball in about 5 to 6 days and will be playing for about 10 to 14 weeks. Then that will end and I'll roll into football season. MAN I'm getting tired just thinking about it. My puppy is getting huge. oh by the way about the other  website............ yea you can give that up its been so long I've forgotten my  password and screenname.  My shoulder has recovered from the muscle tear and my hand is got some pretty  cool scars from the vehicle accident but other than that i'm in good health.



Well because of baseball I probably won't be able to post for a while so you won't hear from me for a long time.

Ok I have my new dog and I'm about to start training her. I have another blog that I'm hosting my pictures I'll  get the address soon.  As for baseball I have a new mizuno baseball glove. And a louisville sluggerbaseball bat as well as my cleats.

So I'm about to start training after Christmas so I can work off that holiday fat. So I'm excited that I can get on the field annd play my favorite sport again. But  I have five years of not playing to make up for so I have my work cut out for me.

Well I'm just about to be caught up in the next whirlwind of sports. I just got over a football Injury and a lacerated right hand from the car accident.  And now I'm starting to work my shoulder out so I can go into baseball and throw  like I hadn't missed five years yea, I haven't played in five years I'm way behind the power curve. But that isn't going to stop me. also I have to start training my new puppy in a few days. Yep I got a German shorthaired pointer I get her in about 8 days. She's a pointer so that means if she sees a bird  she will freeze and stick her tail up in the air so you can see her. If your hunting your supposed to creep  up and kick the bush that the bird is hiding in it flies out and then you shoot it. Trust me its tougher than it sounds there is about a year of training that the dog has to go through so the next year will be tough. That all is about to start now I have to start getting ready for my test for my permit so I can drive to practice. And you think your life is busy all this starts in the next two weeks.

Hopefully I can get this stupid computer to work right so I can post pictures of my dog, football season, and baseball, oh yea and my vacation. If you know how to do this PLEASE HELP

I'm out

Yes things are quieting down. In the past months I have been to Lawrence Ks twice, Memphis MO, Holland Michigan And Indianapolis Indiana  AND Columbia MO. Just try to beat that oh yea and I've been to the emergency room twice. And you think your life is busy, granted Memphis, Holland,  Indi, and Columbia in our two week thanksgiving break but thats still alot.  I don't have much to say but I'm going to post soon with a website of the friends I stayed with in Holland They are awesome people I've known them since I was born   Or  Vice Versa I guess. It was awkward because last time I saw them there kids were teens except their youngest was 8 I was 6..... Now I'm sixteen she's 18 so It was awkward And they had a girl who  is the best friend of their oldest daughter.She's 24 I think and she acted almost as I was her younger brother. Their two sons are in their twenties the younger one has is married with two kids their oldest isn't married but has his own business and doing well. I'm going to try and get their permission to put their link up their oldest daughter has written a song dedicated to her cousin who died fighting in the middle-east.  I also  spent the rest of our brake in Indi  with family.

Well I'm out. 

Thank you for praying about this situation. The coach held a meeting last night. He said sorry for what he said. And the parents let him know that this will not be allowed to continue freely. So I'm still on the team.I think it made our team a little stronger as in relationships. But it also is bad because in the process we lost a good friend and hard worker.

Well it looks as if I'm not going to be playing football anymore. Our coach has started cussing and at first I wanted to play so bad I was willing to look over it. But at last weeks game he said something that was so far past the line that I will never repeat it to my best friend. Well at first I let it go. partly because I turned 16 the very next day and was having a party with the guys on my team.

Well one of the parents talked to my parents and told them they need to ask me what was said. Well they asked me and my first reaction was to lie and say I didn't hear anything. But the more I thought about it the more I recognized that I need to tell them. So I told them and they went and talked to the principle. And he went to the coach. Well the coach said "sorry" but to be honest his attitude said I don't care. So my mom talked to him and basically said that the standards that were set by him for the players at the beginning of the season Should be followed by him. He's asked to have  a meeting with my family. So please pray that God's will is done.

   Our team of first year players have broken a two year losing streak. I'll start at last Monday we met at the school to Go over a video of last weeks game which we lost  horribly. At the end of the video session coach told us that our starting center left the team. I know there are a few people who read my blog that don't know anything about football so I will explain what a center does. A center is the core of the offence (the team that has the ball.) The center hands the ball to the quarterback who then hands the ball to the running backs or throws to the wide receiver. Well  guess who got to fill his position.

With only two days of practice in our new positions  our team took to the field  ready to play.  The  first quarter the opposing team got the first touchdown.  Well things started to  look like the game would go like our other two UNTIL we got a touchdown. The other team fumbled and we recovered we got another touchdown  from that point on we never fell behind. The second and third quarters went well both of the teams kind of went back and forth with touchdowns.

The fourth quarter was horrible I was center and the guy who gave me no problems the entire game suddenly stepped up and ran me over four times and facemasked me a few times which led to my nerves just going haywire  and I started to do things that they had been telling me not to do the entire week. But let me redeem myself  the guy across from me was probably 220 lbs I'm only 180 lbs. So you can see that I was at a little disadvantage.  We won the game 58 to 42  so we broke the losing streak and replenished the moral of our team

Okay, I’m going to type this quickly. The past three weeks have been a lazy boy’s nightmare. Since the last time I posted I have gone through two weeks of two-a-days, one game, and nearly a week of school. Oh yeah three jammed fingers, two jammed wrists, and a twisted ankle that may keep me out of tomorrow’s game. Isn’t football just great? My worst looking one is my finger; it got caught in a dog pile as I wrapped a guy up in practice. Then I had to pry my hand out from under six guys. Later that night it turned a sapphire blue color from the knuckle to the nail. It was kind of cool. My ankle injury happened Tuesday when my entire body went straight but my ankle stayed pointing to the left. So I may not be able to play in tomorrow night’s game, which really stinks. As for the game last week, all I will say is that we lost 58-6. For a team that has 14 guys who have never played football. It could have been worse. We were horrible in the first quarter. The second we did better but we were tired. At halftime we collected our thoughts and came back out and played hard but by then they were so far ahead that the ref had to invoke the mercy rule. So we never got to finish. Our coach said we didn’t have enough experience to know what it would be like. But an encouraging thing he said is that he’s proud of the effort we gave even though we were losing.

 

and Mrs. J, I will survive. (I hope)

I'm out

 Well here is the first installment of today's two-a-days. I woke up at 6'am and went to a college football arena. We started off with a half-mile run, (4:45) a decent  time not the best. Then we ran up and down the bleachers.  Let me take the time to explain the size of these things  150 stairs each row, six different row's.
That's ABOUT 900 STAIRS!!!! Talk about being sore and tired. Then we did about 30-45 min of stretching.
NOT you average stretches, VERY VERY VERY hard stretches. Let's put it this way young girls aught to be able to do these but guys are not. But I guess we'll have to try. Then he surprised us with making us run the seat part of the bleachers. about 75 of them, I did them twice. That's 1050 stairs total!!!! I'm going to stop typing and go take a nap because we are going to start practicing plays tonight.

Oh yeah our team name is Fire....  That's it just Fire??? I'm curious as to what are mascot  would look like if we had one.  Our coach is the brother of pro football player Barry Sanders. Yes the Barry Sanders.

Well I survived my first weight session in football. My arms felt like rubber and my legs felt like to large lead weights. But it was worth it . Partly because I'll probably been in awesome shape by the end of the season.  I found out that this is a very small team, about 10 people so far.  If  you know football your probably wandering how we can play because you've only seen 11 man football teams, but our league plays eight on the field at a time. So you can tell that we are cutting it very close. The one good thing is the fact that I don't think I need to worry about not getting to play.

 You were not going to hear much from me any way, but now you'll hear even less. I found out that a private school down the road from our house is accepting homeschooling teenagers into there football program.
So for the next nine weeks I will be Extremely busy.

The best part is that it is a "Church" league so games and practices are not on Sunday.
