My wife teaches for the Judson ISD. Even though we don’t live in that district; we had the choice of sending our son to Judson High School. For the football program. This was before they split Judson off to another high school.
Thing was - they had over 100 boys in the varsity squad alone. My kid was never gonna see playing time.
So we sent him to the high school in our district (5A) and he was in varsity for 3 years and a starter for two.
Great times...
My son loves playing football: 11 YO and in his 4th season. However, the numerical odds are against him playing on Friday nights for Coppell:
3 Freshman teams
2 JV teams
I think you get my drift. However, I'm going to work with him on being a linebacker or defensive back. I expect him to be 6'2" and 175-190 by the end of his sophomore year.
He's the kind of kid coaches love to have on their team: he knows the game, loves playing it, and when he's fired up, OH MY!
He displayed that last Saturday, while blocking kids that were 30 lbs heavier. He was playing with a rage that was barely controlled (where that came from, I have no idea...acorn...tree...lol). When the coach pulled him out for a break, two other coaches said "put him back in! We need his fire!"
A few plays later, he delivered a block that sprung our HB for a 60 yard TD run.
The next series, an opposing player was ejected for a cheap shot...and they were leading by 30 points at the time.
