Devin and Football


Well, we got the answer last night. While I was home sick with the flu, Greg called me to tell me that Devin in on JV instead of Varsity Section 3. We were both upset about it because Devin is a very good linebacker and can take down even the fastest of kids. We felt that there was some favoratism going on in the decision making process. What can we do about it? Nothing really. We have to look at the positives and make sure that Devin isn't affected by our own wishes. Greg asked him if he cared which team he was on and he said no. What a good sport! At least I will get to see all of his games and he will probably get to play a lot since he will be one of the better players. He truly is as good as some of the players that will get to play on Varsity though so it does upset me. I have to remind myself that this is not Devin's final athletic endeavor. In fact, he probably won't play next year as he doesn't like it as much as he did the first year. But if playing on JV makes it easier and therefore, more fun; maybe he will play another year. That would be fine by me. He needs a sport to get rid of his high energy level.
