I was injured during last week’s practice doing board drills against Max Soellner, where we go one-on-one with each other. Whoever is quickest will get into the other person and knock him back. I dislocated my right elbow and haven’t been able to do much in practice since. The doctor said it will be about four weeks before I can practice again, although he said I have been ahead of schedule.
Since I haven’t been practicing, I have been learning by listening and watching what the others have been doing. I have been working out on the exercise bike also, trying to stay in shape as much as I can.
I think this is going to be a special year for Tyrone football. Everybody on this team is tough. We have a bunch of sophomores bumping up that are really good. They are coming off a good year in junior high and are really tough. I think they can contribute to the team themselves, plus push the older guys to do better.
Everybody else is shooting for and getting ready for the first game against Bellwood. This year, I can only stand on the sideline and watch. What I can do, since I am a junior is look forward to next year.
