Coltons first ever try at Football. He chose to be in athletics and they have the chance to try some sports. Cross Country, Football, Basketball and Track and Field. Colton wasn't too sure about football but Zak encouraged him to try it out, just once. He really didn't want to but obliged. Practices started the first week of school and I think he realized pretty quick that he didn't hate it quite as much as he expected. Unfortunately his run with Covid has put a damper on his play time. He missed a lot of school, went back with a few restrictions because he felt so horrible and then has spent the last three weeks catching up. Attending tutoring at least two nights a week, missing football practice.
A couple weeks ago was Middle School Night at the CyWoods game and they invited all the boys who were going to attend CyWoods. The boys watched CyWoods warm up and ran through the banner with them, then sat together and watched the game. He absolutely loved watching CyWoods play!
His first official game was when he was out with Covid but the hurricane cancelled that game 9/21 was his first official game day! The boys got to wear their jersies at school and they were bussed over to Kalah Middle School for their first game. The boys won 38-0. Colton was only put in for a couple plays during the game and he was okay with that. He's missed so much practice, he was a little uncertain out on the field. It was a long game with a 50 minute rain delay and he didn't get home til almost 10, but he loved it and he's ready to be caught up with school so he can play a little more.
