Mustang Football

Myers house is focused on football. Lots of football. 7 days a week football. Games. Practices. High school games. Chiefs games. Patriots games. Get the picture? The Myers men are particularly enjoying this season. The lone Myers woman is getting used to it.


A couple weeks ago Jackson won our local punt, pass and kick competition. So we've been practicing. Remember how Lucy pulled the ball away from Charlie Brown every single time. I understand Lucy a lot better these days. Making Jackson's accomplishments even more noteworthy. He's a lineman. Those are not lineman skills. He never touches the ball - except in the case of a fumble when things have went very wrong.

The Mustangs have done very well this season. The team is having fun. (Mustang photos courtesy of team photographer Rhonda Upman)

The Mustangs have quite a fan club. Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt Debbie, Lauren & Erin. Friends that we've known since the boys were toothless kindergartners. Erin doesn't know about seventy seven, she just knows that her Jackson is the one with the two 7's on his back.

Then most Friday nights we watch high school football. Last night John helped compile stats. They called out numbers and Bill wrote them all down then went home and entered them into a spread sheet which is reported to coaches sometime after midnight. It's all a big deal this football.
