Default My sons first round in the AllStars

Last week my so went against an AllStar team from across the state...I forget the exact town. All I know these boys were looking like they were fed in a trough! They were the biggest 10 yr old boys I ever laid eyes on. I was so proud of Jake (#44) He man handled these giants all game. When I asked him what was he thinking while lining up against these boys he said "Dad I practice against you all week in the backyard, those guys were not near as strong or tall or as strong as you!" I am so proud of my little man. He has yet to have his growth spurt yet even his teamates are all a few inches taller than him but what a strong kid with the heart of a lion!

Aw, fantastic action shots! I love your story too Jeff, it brought a wee tear to my eye. Your pride in him is very evident, and I'm sure he knows it too. I love seeing your family photos, they're always so lovely and are always posted with a loving commentary :-)

Nice captures, Jeff. And you're right, those boys in the orange definitely look corn fed! Thanks for the share.

Great captures. Love the screwed up face. Cute. And I do have to agree, they definately look too big to be 10 year olds! Something in the water over there ? Thanks for sharing.

Jeff, those boys are pretty hefty for their age. I really like that up close action shot. Good job

It looks like he plays both offense and defense! And as the center, he starts every play on offense. Nice coaching job Dad. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Keep up the good work.

Thanks to all of my DPS peeps! Love all you guys leaving feedback! Sometimes I am guilty of not leaving enough comments but a houseful of kids (5) and being busy always hinders me. I like to go over to portrait critiques alot to try and give back what I have learned here over the past almost 2yrs. So please forgive me
