My Young Self - Part 4
By my senior year I’d managed to fill-out a bit more (I’m still #11). Ant truth be told, I wasn’t as small as I look in this picture. The guy standing behind me was actually the biggest guy on the team….honest. Seriously, stop laughing, I wasn’t the puniest guy on the team anymore. It’s the camera angle…
Because we were a relatively small school, I got to see a good amount of playing time. The fact that the team relied on me to fill a starting spot probably speaks volumes as to why we only won one game that year.
One cool thing of note is that #65 and the cheerleader in the middle are married. Well, actually, several people in the picture are married, but they are married to each other. Just think, if we all married our high school sweethearts….I’d still be single. I think girls were intimidated by how much I bulked-up. Look at me…I’m a monster.

We were certainly happy for any victory that we could achieve.

I never really knew any football team that gave their teammates massages during picture day!

Is there better way to build a bond between teammates? Notice that my guy was wearing gloves….yeah, he knows the routine.

So, uh, what position was it that you, ahem, played? Tight end?
