I got pissed when the coaches decided I wouldnt start a single game till my senior year... only because in my area of southern IL, it wasn't just freshman and varsity football, JV had its own class as well. so I accepted it and played JV for 3 years and varsity for 4. 3rd in the state for solo tackles and 6th for assists my senior year. 
My defensive coach would always give me shit cus I would run with the "fat guys" aka linemen during sprints (which made me look like the shiznit), so I had to start running with both groups.
but he would always make jokes that "we aren't fat tuba players out here"
to which I would inform him that I did indeed play tuba 
then he would make the comment that "sometimes you gotta play dirty... this isnt the boy scouts"
to which I would inform him that I am an Eagle Scout
then he would make the comment that "this isnt rocket science"
to which I would inform him that after high school, I was going to college for aerospace engineering... |
lol, nice.
in middle school, they seperated the fast kids with the fat kids. and that's how all the schools would play each other. fast vs fast and fat vs fat. well, i was kind of borderline, but probably should have been with the fat kids, but they put me at center on the fast side. every play was a dive down the middle. lmao
ps, i call them fat because at that age, you don't have muscle. lol
