Rick's Notes:
|
I've never played organized football, but I've played lots of sandlot football. In the neighborhood where I spent my 9-14 yr-old years there were 110 kids within one block of our house. Mostly boys. We always had a couple of teams for any sport we wanted to play. My favorite football position was receiver on offense, and defensive back on defense. I loved to try to catch the ball. |
