Just learned today my grandson's American football team won their local U18 championships on their first go. New team. Demolished one of the most established local team (been on the local scene since 2006 at least) 40-something to zip. Chuffed for him. Shame I couldn't make the game though.
He's still adjusting to the game. First season. He's hoping to score a high school scholarship to the States. Maybe the outcome will provide some interest to the US scouts. He's playing offensive line - left tackle. Hard position to play (right-handed QB's 'blind side') and he's still unsure on his role and assignments. But he'll settle in. Am extremely proud of his achievement.
