agree,agree,agree…S plays football for his h.s. He loves football beyond words. It is his only real ec other than his part-time job. He is very dedicated (has never missed a practice or game) and is an above average player (was capt. of jv team but jv doesn’t really count) BUT he will probably never receive an award for it.

Colleges will never know how many hours he spent in the weight room or how many times he stayed after practice to clean up the locker room or that in his best game ever (thus far) he had 3 sacks and 18 tackles…because there aren’t awards for that. He just loves the game and being one of the “hogs” on the line!
