We didn't expect Tim to be playing football this year – he played in the Ossining Football Little League from the 2nd through 6th grades – because there was no 7th-8t grade team. Ossining has a junior high school team.
Then this year they started a 7th – 8th grade little league team, so Tim is in there. The growing pains have been bad, as the team is 0-4 now (full dislosure - I am doing some coaching, which may explain things …). Two initial close losses – 8-6 and 7-0, and then two blowout losses to Blind Brook, the best team in the league. Tim has played OK – he was the only boy to be in on every play in the first three games, and was only out for about three downs on Saturday.
Anyway, here he is Saturday, with a nice but unfortunately late hit (very marginal call). He is #77 in maroon, on the defensive line. That's me with the end-of-video comment …
