How's your football season going, you guys start practice yet?
My son moved up to the Bantam weight group (11 years old, 100 lbs though the range of ages and weight are 10-12 y/o and dependant on weight)
This team was already loaded with talent at fullback/running back from last year. The coach knew that my son Gordon was Defensive MVP and starting Fullback last year on the previous team, and told him that he had an unlikely chance of making starting FB, so he told him he wanted Gordon to be his starting Offensive Guard and starting Strong side Linebacker.
Gordon's been doing an AWESOME job in his new role. The coach nicknamed him "Pancake" due to a hit he got in a scrimmage game, forcing the DT into a LB, and took both down during scrimmage.
Coach said Gordon will get touch's on tthe ball, I suspect he'll be the 4th and goal guy due to his prowess and nose for the goal line (he loves to punish defenders...)
At Linebacker, the scrimmage offensive has to double team him if they send him as a blitzer.
now for a shocker....the offensive coach has been using Gordon as a 3rd string QB for 3 practices now...obviously they see something I don't....he is a starting pitcher in baseball...so maybe they're trying to build on that?
Starting Offensive Guard, starting Linebacker, 3rd string QB. Should be a good year for us!
