Grandson drafted to be Kicker

Robert J Samples Loc: Round Rock, Texas
 
My only grandson, Ike was a star soccer player for all his years in school. But due to an emergency, the football coach needed a kicker and drafted Ike to potentially be the team’s field goal kicker. Before he was to suit up and be the kicker, the coach had him kick a field goal from 20 yards which he made. They moved back to 30 yards, same thing, and even from 40 yards, Ike made kicked the ball through the uprights without any problem.

It does me proud to have a ‘star’ football player in my grandson. He also does kickoffs and punts, and punts on fourth downs is risky and with a chance of being hit by the opposing players. Now, Ike has lettered four years in soccer and looks like he will letter two years in football. Besides being a ‘big man’ on campus he will probably top out at over 6 feet tall!

This is his senior year, and we hope to get to see him play in some games this fall, which is
his last year in high school. You can and do live vicariously in the actions of your children and grandchildren! Just Sayin…RJS
