Another year of wondering what I need to do to get a shot.......
I averaged over 9 tackles a game on the JV team. I was the uncrowned captain of the defense on a team that pitched two shutouts. I played the last four games with a high ankle sprain that sidelines most everyone at least two to three weeks, I only missed the final two quarters of the game I sprained it in and was back at practice on Tuesday. I filled in at offensive guard when a lineman was lost for the year. I repeatedly do what's asked of me and yet I never get a sniff of varsity time on a team that averaged giving up 30+ points a game and can't stop the run. It's very discouraging to continue to practice and play in front of 100 people and feel like not only could I play, but upgrade the defense of our program. I still do. Becuase I am dedicated to the program and I love the game of football.
What sucks is that who is going to want to recruit a guy who can't crack his own varsity lineup?? Please don't hold it against me because it is becoming increasingly clear to me that politics play a huge part in who plays and who doesn't.....guys that I have beat on since grade school continue to play, make mistakes and poorly execute but are never held accountable for their actions............
But I will be there the first day of conditioning and ready to go.......
