The RING…


…so it’s back to school for the boys, Robert started yesterday and lil Raymond went back today.

As most of you know Robert has been playing football since he was six years old, and to top it off, he has been an O-line starter since then. His very first year he started and played for his first Championship title, they didn’t win, but what a ride. We didn’t realize what a great talented group of boys were in that age group around the county, and what a great group of talented boys on his team. During his little league (GFL) days he won 3 out of 5 championship games during a 7 year span and stated in every single game.

As a starting freshmen player @ BHS, his team won the Gwinnett County Championship game. Just as we thought his season was over, he was invited to stay and continue to practice with the Varsity level, what an honor, what an experience. Sounds like fun and good times, however, workouts were harder, standing on the sideline on Friday nights were tough with cold and rainy weather for the most part, but he stuck it out and the Varsity Wolves played their final game at the GA Dome, where they won their 6th state title.

Wow, what a great season and what a great experience to be a part of as a freshmen, the excitement didn’t stop there, yesterday all Varsity players and Freshmen that were called up were sized for a Championship/Fan Ring….Oh MY! Who knew that 9 years ago when we started this journey that Robert would be part of the Varsity as a freshman.

Not that we are counting but this puts Robert as being a part of 7 “Championship” games, with winning 5 of those 7, over a 9 season span, we can’t wait to see what the next 3 seasons hold or what this seasons “RING” will look like, we hope there will be plenty more, I’ll keep you posted~
Go Big Green!

Hope you enjoy some pics from this past season from the freshmen championship game and Rob at the Dome…
