Storm Football

Luke is playing tackle football this fall and, despite the numerous bumps and bruises, he is having a blast!  He was fortunate to get drafted onto an outstanding team with great coaches.  I have decided that coaches make all the difference.  Luke's coaches push them but they never cross the line, and at the end of the game they always have encouraging words and life lessons to teach the young men.  Each week I am impressed by these men who realize they have an opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of their players.   So far, their team has lost only one game.  They were caught by surprise their first game when an opposing player ran the kickoff return back for a touchdown, they weren't able to pull ahead after that.  Since then, they have been prepared and won each match.  I know their goal is to win the championship-- for themselves and also in memory of a teammate who died last year of meningitis.  His number is embroidered on each of their jerseys.  Good luck guys!
