I didn't play football during my high school days. I think what if, just about everytime this type of discussion comes up or when I speak with some of the guys that did play or the ones that do play. I played from 4th grade through 8th grade, but I just didn't do it in high school and thought that spending time with my friends was more important because none of my closer friends played football. I'm not saying I would trade those spring/summer days that I spent with my friends in for football, but I know that I wasted a lot of my time doing nothing when I could have been out there with those guys when they made a deep run into the playoffs or just took a trip to Pond Creek to face the Pirates of Belfry. I regret it I really do!

Now I plan on coaching either football or basketball and being an inspiration to some of the boys that don't play football. I really think that I can talk some of them into playing football rather than going out and partying and doing drugs or simply just playing video games all day.

I agree with every post in this thread, there is really no excuse for not coming out and at least giving it a shot.
