Season starts this evening with the first scrimmage against Van Vleck.
STJ is super young this year, dressing only 7 seniors on a squad of 40. Every skill position on offense is currently held by a junior or sophomore including the starting QB. Most of the kids will also be going both ways. I am so ready for some football!
My son will be starting at Inside Linebacker and Wide Receiver (I think). Hopefully he will get some varsity stats this year. Last year as a Sophomore he had 1 KR for 29 yards. LOL. He also played 3 or 4 games at ILB and picked up a few tackles.
The running back I coached at NA a few years back (24 TDs in 6 games) will also be starting as a junior. We are hoping for big things from him. All in all there are only 4 players left from my 8th grade team from NA. We have 2 2-way starters (#11 and #5) and 2 JV players at the moment.
Go Flyers!

Not bad. STJ scored 3 times and Van Vleck 4 or 5. Looks like the suited up about 60 kids against our 30 varsity players.
My son had 2 catches for about 24 yards (and 2 first downs) and also had an INT on defense. Our sophomore QB did well throwing for over 100 yards in limited action. We never got the running game going as the offensive line struggled.
We have Edna on Thursday.

First game was very sloppy with multiple mental penalties in the first half. I counted 6 offsides calls on our defense. Several of our boys started cramping in the 4th quarter. We ended up losing 21-6.
My son had a nice game including 2 catches for about 20 yards and another INT. He also came real close to scooping up a fumble and running it in, but it slipped out of his hands. We still recovered it inside the 10, but penalties set us back and we ended up turning it over on downs.
We have added another game which will be against Tomball Christian Home School who are the defending TCAL State Champions. We play Saturday at Victoria Memorial Stadium @ 2:00 PM.

Quick Update
We dropped the game to Tomball Christian 35-34. I believe we had the game in hand, but our QB went out with cramps late in the 3rd quarter and could not recover. Back up QB fumbled twice.
My son had 2 catches for 99 yards and 4 solo tackles on defense. He is also went out with an injury and did not come back.
