We’re a Football Family!

What are your favorite sports to watch and play?

I grew up watching football on tv and in person at our town’s junior football league.

Later, I was running down the hill to the high school games on Saturdays in middle school and cheering them from the sidelines once I became a cheerleader in high school.

Pickup games were played on the practice field in the fall and there was a certain thrill in evading tackles or keeping someone from the ball while on defense.

Senior year I was a captain for defense on our Powder Puff football team. We had practice for 2 or three weeks before the big game against our cross town rivals on the day before Thanksgiving.

Our son played football for the same high school team I cheered for and once again I would head down the hill to watch the games.

My family has a 16 member Fantasy Football league which as me checking the predictions and watching Red Zone closely on Sundays!

Definitely football is my favorite sport!
