All good things must come to an end

 

Every Friday, Garrett wears his jersey "to school"

He took great pride wearing it.

 Saturday was the first playoff game.  I knew that I needed to take pictures.  The Piedmont Panthers played the #1 team.  Not such a good match up.  A perfect fall day for watching football.

 We still have a taped ankle from the injury three weeks ago.

So glad I was able to see his stickers on the back of his helmet.  He worked very hard this season.

 So proud of him for sticking it out for his first time playing.  He learned a lot about himself as an athlete: 

1.  Hard Work

2.  Sweat

3.  Getting Hit

4.  Getting Hurt

5.  Ice Bucket

6.  Heat

7.  Lots of Gatorade

8.  Hustle

9.  Positions

10.  Friendship

11.  Teamwork

12.  Drive

13.  What it feels like to be tackled

14.  The feeling of catching a pass

15.  The feeling of catching a pass and running for a touchdown

Getting ready to take the field in his last 7th grade game.  Very proud of him for trying something new and finishing strong.

Way to go #27
