Football Season is almost here!

I've never been a big sports fan but being the parent of a teen who lives for football has changed that. Dae'Shawn (16) will be a junior this year and is already playing Varsity football. He finally was able to pick his number today, 42, and will hit the field on August 29th. Kevin couldn't be a prouder dad and this could be his best birthday yet - the gift of seeing his son play.

Dae has worked really hard to be sure he could play this year. Nevada is very strict with their athletes, we applaud them for this, student athletes are to represent the best of the school. They must excel in their academics, attendance and citizenship. Dae'Shawn wasn't able to play last year because of his grades and has worked so hard to be sure he met eligibility this year. We couldn't be prouder :). He deserves it!!

It's been neat to see him in the same high school I went to, struggling with some of the same faculty. Basic High School fits him and has a great athletic program. The football program was recently revamped with half the staff being replaced, we also got a new principal with a passion for the game. We're hoping the football team is finally recognized and supported for the amazing kids they are.

Isn't my boy cute, he's the best looking guy on the field! Well as long as his dad isn't on the field.

Go Wolves!!!
