They're 3-3 so far with two games to play.  Tomorrow against the city's Catholic school team and next Thursday under the lights against the crosstown rival.  I am taking him to the Bears game on Sunday.  Hopefully the Birds can improve to 3-3 as well.

That picture of your son, are they playing on artificial turf? :o

No wonder they don't use the scoreboard they need to cut corners somehow.  That is a great picture, we have one of our son taken by a 'professional' in a somewhat action shot that is tremendous.  Being a 'big ol' lineman' it didn't have the pizzazz your son's picture has.

There are MANY schools going to the synthetic turf nowadays. It is costly up front but they save $ over the long haul by virtually eliminating maintenance.

Bonibelle:
Yes that is artificial turf, but not at our school. We are currenty getting ready to do a $67,000,000.00 school renovation that includes 2 turf fields. (they actually pared down from 3 when public outcry was so loud). The turf fields are wonderful as they are multi use and not affected by weather...etc, but to install they are unbelievable expensive...In my humble opinon, football is meant to be played in the mud....those turff burns are nasty and the school taxes are even more painfull..... ;D ;)

And still no score board for JV.... >:(

I don't think there are any high schools in the state that have artificial turf, even Clemson U. and U of So. Car. are natural turf. :'(

In Canada eh:

Boni,

   I can't agree with you more!  In my opinion all football games should be played in Green Bay!  No silly luxury boxes, no artificial turf, outside in the rain or snow.  The field is heated so the grass grows all year.

Nice photo of your son, looks like he was about to take a good hit from #6 on the other team
