My First Junior High Football Scrimmage

A few weeks ago I started playing football for Ridge Junior School.  On Wednesday afternoon I rode the bus to a football game for the first time.  We met at school at 2:30, dressed for the game in the locker room and took a bus to Rapid Run Middle School. It was cool to ride the bus with my teammates.

Our Ridge Junior High seventh grade team scrimmaged the Rapid Run seventh graders.  We took turns running 10 plays on defense and 10 plays on offense.  Everyone got to play a little.  I played quarterback and strong-side linebacker.  I connected with Johnny Noyen on a 15 yard pass.  I also broke a block and tackled the ball carrier at the line.  We didn’t keep score but we  moved the ball enough to score two touchdowns and they didn’t score any.
