Falcon Football

Landon decided he wanted to play football - he has endured the hot summer practices, hell week- where they work them so hard they try to weed out any kids that aren't tough, and is now enjoying some games.
Lots and lots of practices . . . . the other day at practice his elbow got stuck into someone else's face mask. The coach had to yank it loose - consequence: a bruised and sore elbow for Landon and a bloody nose for the other kid. His coach was screaming at the kids the other night "THIS IS FOOTBALL! THIS ISN'T PIANO LESSONS! BE TOUGH!!" It's pretty tough all right.

His second game yesterday was against Napa - the Falcons won 37-18. Landon plays offensive tackle and special teams and he's having fun with it.

What the hell is a Ute....and why would anybody want to be one?
Landon, a cougar eats a Ute for breakfast.
