A tough summer for freshmen training to play high school football
Schools & Kids, posted by Editor, Pleasanton Weekly Online, on Nov 12, 2009 at 7:58 pm

Yes, they work hard, but I am sure they enjoy it. And the rest of us enjoy watching their games, going to cheer them on at the games.

Keep up the good work, guys! And good luck tomorrow!

Double days...I guess they call the two-a-days now or something. I remember all the fat linemen puking on all the afternoon runs.

Some linemen and overwweight. Hopefully, others will not tease them. Young people do not need to be teased. thank you...

Correction: Some linemen are overweight. GO FOR IT LINEMEN! VIVA!
