These guys don\’t get the respect they deserve on the high school football field. You\’ve got the quarterback strutting around the filed with his name being called out over the loudspeaker with every completed pass. You have the running backs scurrying around the field to equal glory on successful breaks down the field. Receivers get […]
The poor kicker. He\’s there on the sideline for 99% of the entire football game. He\’s expected to come in now and then, completely cold, and focus his energy and attention on the singular act of precisely kicking the ball through those dreaded uprights from varying degrees of distance. How can that be fun. On […]
