Game Day

Today is the day of our second game of the season. I am very nervous because i dont know how this one will turn out. The have good athletes, but arent that good. We are good, but dont have very many athletes. Theres kind of an oppostie effect going on. It should be a very good game. I hope that we can win so we can improve our record to 2-0. I would be very happy. Plus it could help our fan base actually show up to the games. The game is at 5:30 so it's going to be very hot. I'm used to playing in the heat, but i still dont like it. I want to see the stands filled with blue and white shirts cheering my team on. This team has talked a lot of smack and i want to shut them up and put them in their place.

Moving In

This past weekend my family helped my brother move in to his dorm at UK. It wasn't really the way I wanted to spend my saturday by waking up at 7:30 when I had a game the night before. We ended up leaving around 8 and headed toward Lexington. It was a long and boring drive. The campus is huge and the roads are confusing, so it was difficult to find his dorm. We ended up finding it after some frustration and went to sign in. After he signed in we went to his room to check it out. It didn't look that big, but wut else do you suspect? We stayed in the room for a while, then we went out to the van to get his stuff. We made about 4 trips to get it all in the room and then of course my mom had to organize everything after we set his stuff down. After she made everything perfect we went to Outback Steakhouse to eat. Mom started crying during the meal because she gets very emotional when he leaves. My family and I then took Zach back to the dorm to say our goodbyes. Dad gave him a hug first because my mom was bawling her eyes out already. My mom gave him the second hug and I was saved for the last because we are very close. I was sad to leave him and be without him because we are so close, but its his time to grow and learn to be independent. I miss him a lot, but im sure hes still having fun with the college life.

Friday Night Lights

Last Friday our football team beat the Mulhenburg Mustangs 33-12. We looked very good and we were playing as a team. Last year we only won two games so we are already half way there. Apollo football should win the first four games before we are challenged. The first play of the game on Friday, DJ ran a kickoff for a touchdown and we never looked back from that point. They had a couple of good plays, but we kept our heads up and played harder. It was there first game so there was a lot of people watching their team's first game. We ruined their first game by beating them so bad, but it felt good to win again. When we win we get to sing the fight song and that is one of the most fun things to do. The whole team is in a circle jumping up and down screaming the words to the song. It was a great game and i was proud to be wearing Apollo across my chest.

My life

Football is my life and it has been sense i was 7. I played soccer for a while until an add in a paper said something about a flag football league. My mom asked if I wanted to play and said yeah. Ever sense that first practice football has been everything in my life. Now that i play in high school, football is all year round and I dont get a break. Sometimes I feel like I should be doing something else besides that, but I couldnt imagine my life without football. This year of football will be my 11th year of playing. The past two years Apollo football has been terrible. We are all tired of loosing and tired of feeling like we suck. This year though, we are really good. We are projected to finish second in the region. I am excited about this year and hope we do good. Our first test is a district game against Mulenburg County tomorrow. If we loose it will be really embarrasing because it will be their first game as a school. Everybody already thinks we are terrible so that will make it even worse. Also our fans have stopped coming to the games because we lose. How can we win if we dont have any support? If they really cared about our school and team, then they would come to every game no matter how bad we are. I am deticated to football and I hope to be able to play for a long time and that my son will take after me and play.

What family means to me.

Family is something that is very imporatnat to me. I love my family even though they annoy me sometimes. My brother Zach is my bestfriend. We were born 21 months apart, but we r basically twins. We love to play sports and play video games. We are very competative and good at everything. We are also different. He is crazy and im more laid back. Hes more talkative and I like to sit back and listen to what is being said. My oldest brother Nathan is 6 years older then me, so we dont really get along that well. My dad is awesome and a role model. He jokes around with me a lot and we still wrestle a time or two. He is very sports minded and has taught me everything i know about sports. My mom likes to control me a little. Im the baby of the family, so its hard for her to let her last son go. It annoys me a lot, but I know how she feels. In my family I am the person who listens to everything that is said and waits to talk when its my turn. Im usally the quiet one until sports is involed. I couldn't ask for a better family and im lucky to have them.
