He is. Corey Compton has also seen some playing time since coming back from a mid-season broken arm. Also a junior.

 

He sure lit up the stands with his hit on the first kickoff Friday night.

Okay, since it looks like no one is going to bite, I'll just have to brag on myself. Midway through the third quarter, Patrick Towles launched a long bomb to the Highlands side of the south end zone. The pass sailed a little long and went out of bounds; but it still had a lot of heat on it and bounced on the track. The ball then proceeded to bounce above a concrete platform and over a railing...where it nailed my nephew right in the chest. He bobbled it (gotta work on the kid's hands) and it headed my way. It jumped two people and landed in my grasp. It was my very first pass reception at Highlands...and it only took 44 years. :ylsuper:

 

I was so enraptured with my accomplishment that I didn't even hear the ball boy pleading with me to throw the ball back to him. I got flustered and tried to pass it through the railings, which wasn't even close to possible...then I franticly tossed it over the rail like a pirate dumping an explosive overboard.

 

In any case, it was my proudest moment at DCM! :clap:

 

Hey, I wonder if I still have any eligibility left?

 

I saw that,I thought thats how 44 year olds spiked the ball. Next time , if you want to get noticed you could also try "the Ickey shuffle. :lol::lol:

Thank the Lord -- somebody saw it! I thought I was going to have to go through life never having been recognized for my (one) amazing athletic achievement.

 

 

 

(Truth be told, I panicked -- suddenly overwhelmed by a dreadful fear that I was holding up the whole game. Guess they do have more than one ball though...just in case some spaz-ed out fan catches the ball and then freezes up.)

Maybe we can get your Highlands football hat retired and placed in the trophy case with a plaque engraved with your name on it. I can see it now "THE GREATEST CATCH EVER" (by a fan) .:ylsuper::ylsuper:

That seems appropriate to me. :thumb:

 

My goal for this week is to catch one dead on...without having to play the bounce off of a small child.
