So, it appears as if football season is longer and longer every year. Already we have been in the midst of spring football with daily practices and periodic scrimmages. Because of all the swine flu craziness, poor Brian has had track season prolonged, so he's been attending dual practices. The regional track meet was supposed to be two weekends ago, but all events involving students from other schools were prohibited then because of the hysteria that broke out. Seriously - it was crazy to see all the overreaction. We were hoping for an extra spring break in there for us, but since that didn't happen, I think everything else should have just been postponed a week or so. Anyways, all that is to say that the regional track meet has been moved to this week - more accurately Thursday - Saturday of this upcoming weekend. This meant that spring football plans were altered as well, and Friday night's scrimmage marked the end. The new head coach seems really nice and there was definitely a difference in the atmosphere at even just a scrimmage. It turns out the coach allowed the players to "draft" their own teams and that's who they played with. It turned out pretty well. The kids seemed pretty excited and the coaches appeared happy with the end result. There was only one injury, which Brian thought was pretty good (although he mentioned later that this kid tore his ACL on the opposite leg from last year's injury - poor kid!).
