Football Season


On a sunny fall Saturday morning, the football stadium is a pretty good place to be. Especially if Jeff is playing. Jeff (#22) decided to play JV football this year after a several year hiatus from the game. He got a late start on the season and lacks the experience of the other sophomore players on the team. But being a good athlete and an intelligent one, he knows his role and plays it well, starting on defense as a safety or cornerback, the kick return team, and backup wingback on offense.












The team is 2 - 2 on the season, and this is a game that went in the L column, thus the long faces.



Baseball update: Sunday's game also went in the L column, but Jeff played well, batted .667, 2 hits (1 triple), 1 RBI, 1 run, and made a 1-6 double play (that would be pitcher to Jeff at shortstop tagging the runner and a force at second, by himself).

I'm totally clueless about football, but what's Jeff doing with the ball in that second picture?

Kickoff return. Ball bounced in front of him and was bouncing wildly past him. He recovered it and made a short return.
