Marcus has a great game against LTMS

One of the things that I looked forward to the most about Adam's 8th grade year was the chance for him to play with Marcus Wilkerson.

Marcus and Adam were together in Children's Church for five years and his Dad helped me teach the class the year before he left for Afghanistan.

In this first photo, Marcus is pulling the pile forward while the football is exposed and in a position to be easily stripped away. The right side line backer is no where to be found.

In the next photo, you can see that Marcus got safely to the ground without having the ball stripped.

If you look closely on the right side of the pile you will see Adam showing up a second too late to strip the ball away from Marcus.

Playing ultimate frisbee with these two allows me to know just how competitive they are.

In this particular game, Marcus probably ended up on top of the individual effort while Adam's team ended up on top of the scoreboard 14 - 7.

I'll keep pushing these two to do better until they have a chance to play together at Tates Creek High School in two years for JV and three years for varsity.

This last picture is Marcus with a solo sack for a 10 yard loss to end the first half of play.
