Freshmen

Derek is a Freshman this year and has a group of friends like Lauren. They have been together since elementary school and played football and basketball since the beginning of time. They are all very athletic. They have been in lots of championships over the last 6 years - they started their football season off this week playing our arch rival Pullman and killed them 41 - 00. Since 7th grade Derek's football team has not lost a game. Needless to say they are feeling pretty good about themselves. Derek is the team captain and had a great game - 2 big catches as wide reciever and a lot of big tackles as a line backer and even a fumble recovery! There was a lot of baby testosterone out there on the field! His sisters are pretty good about making sure his head will continue to fit in his helmet! hehehehe (gotta love sisters)

He really loves it when I take pictures of him!

Congratulations Derek. Your uncle will be proud. Was this picture taken on game day? Taylor's team in Ca made them wear collared shirts on game day. In MI they wore their jersey's on game day. I hope your team keeps up their winning streak. I am sure as captain you are keeping your team in line. What a great nephew!
