F Is For . . .

F could stand for Friends who are patient and loving and caring.
F could stand for Frosting, which I've overindulged on this week.
F could also stand for fat--a result of the Frosting.

But seriously, is there any better F than FOOTBALL?

Poston vs. Stapley--biggest rivalry of the season.

Fourth quarter--Poston up 7-0 with 23 seconds left. Poston's kicker fumbles the snap. Stapley recovers. 3.5 seconds to go and Stapley has the ball--first and goal on the eight yard line.

And here's what happens:


FIFTY-FIVE! FIFTY-FIVE!

All I could do was yell: "That's my son! That's my boy! BEN!"
IT WAS AWESOME!

    High School football is the best. For me I can remember the excitment of the Madison vs. Ribgy games.

    Thanks for the follow, following back.
