Running back

Hey readers, Austin here just to tell you a little about football and what has been going on. I never imagined that I would have enormous success when I joined the team this year. In fact I never imagined I would ever play football.

But I found myself on the team after I was convicted to help another FC team with low number of athletes that participated. It is a pretty cool experience: playing football under the lights and representing FC on the field. I wish I had played football earlier in my high school year, and participated in such an amazing brotherhood of athletes.

I never would have thought either that I would have had as much success as I’ve had as a first year player. Currently I am sitting at fifth in the Central Section in rush yards. FIFTH — In the whole section and I’m merely a first year player. I owe all that I can do to the amazing offensive line that has been placed in front of me, and the fantastic fullback that runs in front of me to give me lanes.

I have also been blessed to have been nominated twice for player of the week, once by a local website called “Centralvalleyfootball.com” in which I placed second behind Fowlers Hugo Martinez and again by KMJ580 for their “Big Man on Campus” competition in which I beat out the competition of three other student athletes gaining 72 percent of the vote. My numbers for the week were fairly impressive: 304 yards rushing, 5 touchdowns.

I’m so blessed to have been a part of this team, and I could not have asked for any better teammates to surround myself with. It’s overwhelming to be a part of a team that is so influencial in the school.
