Football

Football season is here! I am part of a brand new team, the Denton Dragons. Since it is a new team, we are disorganized and so far have not done well. It is fun though. I am the right guard on the offensive line (sometimes defense). Our first game, we lost 52 - 0 but we showed improvement in the next game at 22 - 6. We have a real coach now so I expect to see even more improvement. Here are the associated websites.
