From Swamp Dragons to Just Plain Ole' Dragons



Garrett is on the field now and in his element! Both of my boys are playing football and both are cornerbacks (hilarious). But as Rah is playing for the community based DeRidder Youth Football League, Garrett is playing for the school and as all the city of DeRidder schools carry the same mascot he is a Dragon, of course. In elementary they are "Baby Dragons" and in Junior High School the Dragon changes a bit to look more "adolescent like" and the full-blown Dragons are represented by the one and only  DeRidder HS.

Garrett plays for DeRidder Junior High School and is #8. He told me he wanted to play on Friday, so I got him a sports physical on Monday, and he started in his first game that Tuesday.

They ended up losing that first one and he was a bit disappointed but he made up for it in the next game which was a win! Check out the videos below. But it was short lived as the loss their next game, sadly of which he made two bad plays that could have helped the team squeeze out a win (according to him) I didn't make that game as it was in Alexandria and over an hr away. But he has two games scheduled for this week and I'll surely be at both!!
 
So wish him luck and a phenomenal season along with continued success with his grades as he made all A's and B's on his Progress Report!!!

Way to Go, Garrett!!!
