A few football Pics from last night

We won 46-0. (Blue and Gold Uniforms). My son (#77) was matched up against a senior that was 6'-3" and 276# and was expected to have a big night.
He didn't, as Colt controlled him all night. Obviously, I'm a proud papa.

Which school does he play for?

Glendale Vikings in Pa.

Hel yeah ....looks like Brian Bosworth ...he ought to grow a mullet and play linebacker!

Appears to have good technique.

Just wait till he starts to fill out his junior and senior years.

Yeah, at 15 he still is a kid.

Good deal. I loved watching my son play

Some people like to watch quarterbacks, recievers and running backs. Not me football is played by linemen the men in the trenches.
I was 130 pound soaking wet when I played in high school. I loved playing nose gaurd and offensive gaurd.

Looks like he has a successful future ahead of him.

A little more work in the weight room maybe, a bit slender in the arms maybe some toning. He sure is a strapping young man, how is his speed and agility? Fine figure of a young man, you darn well should be proud.

Good looking player there bic. Hopefully he will develop enough to get a scholarship here in SEC country. If not I reckon he could settle fer Penn State or one of those other Big 10 teams.

Did you have another son play football at this school in the past or maybe he is the same person? I remember several years ago you posted something about sports at this school. I mentioned I once had an interview for a educator position at this school and the high school overlooked a state park with a lake.

Grandpa Trapper. Your memory is correct. This is my third and last son to play football at this High school.

Maybe he will be a Steeler.

They playing moshannon Valley this year?

Yes. We play them every year. That's our biggest rival. We play them on October 5th.

We don't talk about goals that far down the road. All it does is creates un-needed pressure. Right now it all about being the best High school player that he can be. The rest will take care of it's self. And above all else, have Fun.

What is the Tradition of your High School Football Program. Lot of kids on the Varsity team?, and do you Make it to the Play-offs often?

Okay. I played jv for moshannon Valley. I had heard that the two schools took a break from playing each other for a while. It didn't make sense because they are big rivals haha. Good luck to your boy.

Nice !!

Good looking kid. I have a fondness for 77. I wore it as an middle linebacker in college.
Best of luck this season.

Traditionally Our team sucks. This is the year that we expect to change that trend. We do have several larger classification schools on our schedule that is will be hard to compete with. The coaches and players expect to make the play off this year. time will tell.

Bic, it’s really not that far down the road. I’m sure he will get looks from colleges, being as big as he is. How are his grades? Does he want to take his playing career to the next level? Having a next level playing goal is not necessarily a bad thing. Look at any big college/NFL lineman. What is the common denominator? They’re all big guys. So being all big guys there has to be something that sets them apart from other lineman. Ability and how bad do they want it. Are they willing to work that much harder than the next guy and put in the extra effort it takes to get noticed at the next level.

Pasadena, You are correct. He gets really good grades in school and takes advanced classes. HE has to decide if he wants to play college ball and at what level. He also has to decide if he is willing to take on that type of commitment. Ultimately, it will be his brain that pays his bills, not football.

Great pictures, thanks. Tell colt I said good job and give him a pat on the back for me.

Good approach to it, bic.

That is great that he has the grades. If he wants to continue to the next level, with brains and big stature and talent he can write his own ticket to where he wants to go to college. Let the brains and build pay his way through.
My nieces boyfriend let his brains and build help him through college, he is a Senior/DE for Harvard.

He, is using superb technique. He had to of stuck with it beyond these two pictures as the score indicates his opponent nor anyone else on the other team was having much success defensively. When he hits his Junior year and the muscle starts really growing on that frame the sky is the limit to his potential

I hope it is your year. Your son looks well put together and so young yet!!! I am a High School Football Fanatic myself. Friday Nite Lights is the Best. With 5 Daughters have never had one out for Football but have only missed 1 Friday Nite Game in the last 23 Years. Best of luck to you all as I will be watching!!!
