Jr. All American Football/Pop Warner Football

I played for Australia

 

I don't remember a single game that I played in the little leagues. I started in 5th grade-1995 or 96, and I can only remember certain events, most of which don't even pertain to the games.

I remember there was this huge thug kid named Antonio, he had a kid at age 12. They went by grade level in our league, and I think he got held back like twice or something

And I remember having to run a lot, because my coach was a tool in 5th grade.

Our practices were infinitely harder than I ever dealt with in High School. (That was before Korey Stringer and all the High School kids started dying of heat exhaustion and dehydration)

The games were largely meaningless, I coached a kids league too, in '06, it was the most infuriating thing I've ever done. Kids are ridiculous.

Last year, I coached at the High School level, for a team that went winless the year before.. They went winless again.. Luckily I only lasted for the offseason and two games. Volunteer coaching at its finest.

 

In 4th grade I ran for 4 TD's and on the 4th one I lost my shoes half way through the run, and got ran down by some fat kid who also for some reason lost his shoes. Luckily for me I scored, but he still tackled me like 5 seconds after the whistle, and got nothing called on him. But that's not where the story ends. I also played soccer during football season and had a game later in the day where guess who was playing goalie. It was that fat kid who made me so mad earlier in the day catching me, so I decided to take my soccer cleats off and throw them at him then score a goal. But this time the refs chose to call a penalty for me hitting him with 2 cleats. I actually quite soccer that night after the game and kept with football. I was sick in soccer too, but hated running and running and running. And that fat kid was never seen again. My football coach was my cousins best friends Dad, and I still to this day when I'm back in Mississippi hear about that football game.

 

I was once running in for an open TD, no one around me for miles and I was going to fast for myself I over-balanced and fell over about 10 yards short. Of course being NCAA rules I was down.

Pretty embarrassing.

 

My High School lost 4 games all 4 years that I was there. 2 of the games happening my freshman year when I wasn't on varsity. I played starting FS and had some playing time at WR my Jr-Sr year and RB my Sr year. I started FS So-Sr year (So. year only because the starter a Sr. broke his ankle and was out for 6 games) STATE CHAMPS IN 08 and 09!

My Sr Year (last year) I had 88 Tackles 6 INTs 2 Sacks 5 FF 1 TD at Safety, 203yards 2 TDs Rushing, and 534 3 TDs rec.
(In 10 out of 11 games and usually only played 3 quarters because we were dominating)

Currently I play safety at my community college. I'm backup for both safety positions and 4th string CB/WR and on the kickoff team. Registered 3 tackles for the first game

 

That's pretty cool. I always wanted to play ball in the states.
