BoBo’s Freshman Football team played their last game of the year on Saturday. I sat in the stands, with all of the other proud parents, watching as our boys won yet another game. It was only a few months ago when I attended BoBo’s first game. During that game, I was torn between wanting him to play and not wanting him to risk the horrific injuries that you often hear about.
While I am still nervous about him, or any of the players, being injured, I can now watch the game without closing my eyes and holding my breath. I am actually sad that the season is coming to an end. Not only has football helped BoBo in the transition to high school, it has kept him motivated to do well in his academics. And he loves it like I love running.
